[GNC] Newbie Questions

[Joe Padavic]

I hadn't imported any Quickbook file to GNUCASH, but the "Welcome to
GNUCASH" (splash page) wasn't showing up so I didn't know when to go to
import the files. I eventually uninstalled the app and deleted the registry
entry and the Welcome page is being displayed.

My intentions are to convert personal checking/credit card accounts from
Quicken and business data from Quickbooks. Having all transactions make
Year End Tax Reporting for the business easier. Any comparisons from
previous to current year would be helpful. This would hold true for
budgeting purposes for personal accounts, also.

So the question remains - can I import the IIF files from Quickbooks and
what files can be imported from Quicken?
The first time I import my bank transactions, both business and personal,
what date would these transactions start with?
