[GNC] reconcile problem?

[David Carlson]

That came up in another thread a couple of weeks ago.  As far as I know,
the only solution is to be very careful in the matching step of the import.
  You can help yourself when making the payments to be sure they have
different dates or amounts, or even paying out of different checking
accounts.
