[GNC] Recover my QIF MEMOs

[GTI .H]

Thank you for your reply!

Now I'm a little confused.

I don't use SQL.

If it didn't fail, something that changed the behavior of my U+C happened.

Whenever I did my imports, I imported the QIF, then imported the OFX, chose
U+C, and my MEMOs were in QIFMEMO|OFXMEMO format, preserving both
information, and this behavior returned, tested a bit in v5.12 and v5.13.

As far as I remember, option C leaves me with only one of the MEMOs, the
QIFMEMO or the OFXMEMO, I don't remember exactly which one.

I need to continue my update process and observe the behavior of OFX A,
U+C, and C more closely to come back here with more certainty.

Please, while I'm at it, how can I force the re-import of an OFX file that
has already been imported?

I've already tried renaming it, changing fields inside it, and I still
haven't been able to re-import the OFX.
