Rick, I can't speak for the developers, but I haven't heard anyone raise this before, so I don't think it's on anyone's agenda. That said, you might look at saving the file in SQL and using a database query to extract the data you seek. David On January 23, 2018, at 9:29 AM, Rick Copple

Jon, You do not mention what file type you are using for your imports. If you are using QIF the importer will try to match incoming transactions to existing transactions with the limitation that it will not match to other transactions in the same import file. This is why it is better to import

Does MS Money allow for the export of all of the categories as does Quicken with any data export? If so you could import that file first to set up your COA. Then when importing your data all accounts will be setup for you and reduce the number errors. Ken Schneider > On Jan 22, 2018, at 2:00
