[GNC] How to reimport an ofx file?

[David Carlson]

Jeffrey,

My regular procedure involves intentionally deleting some OFX imported
transactions after I have replaced them with transactions that have more
detailed descriptions and I have found that if I re-run an old OFX import
file, those transactions will import again.  So in your case, I would
expect missing transactions to re-appear without any special editing of the
import files.  Because I have the room on my backup devices, I never delete
old OFX files, I just move them to different folders.
