[GNC] Migrating from Quicken

[Adrien Monteleone]

If you can export the bills and invoices on their own as a CSV, (not 
individually, but bills separate from invoices) you can manipulate the 
resulting CSV to fit the format required by GnuCash for import.

You will need to create Customers & Vendors prior to the import, as well 
as the relevant expense accounts (for bills) and income accounts. (for 
invoices)

If this type of filtered export is available, but not as a CSV, report 
back here what formats are possible and someone here can advise the best 
one to use, and then how to convert it to CSV afterwards.

Regards,
Adrien
