Sort of. There are a bunch of routines that we call "scrubs" that run at the
beginning of a session. They uncorrupt data from a few bugs known to have
caused problems, do some data-integrity checks like making sure that
transactions balance and that all of the accounts referenced in splits

Glenn, you said " I think QFX is OFX with some minor modifications.".
From the GNC import perspective, they are both same. Technically QFX is

that header during the import.

Good morning,
Here's a quick note on my experience in case it's helpful.
Summary:
Instead of OFX direct connect I use the various bank websites to
download transactions in QFX format corresponding to the monthly
statements. I think QFX is OFX with some minor modifications.

Scott,
Your issues with the transfer dialog seem strange. I just tried a 2,000,000
transfer with a rate of 1/23600 in the dialog and got a value of 84.75. The
decimal display on the right of the rate entry is 0.42, but that's just
because that display is limited to 6 decimal digits;

Hi David,
I'll take the contrarian position and note that there are more ways to

If you are talking about periodic

The simplest options are *either* asset or liability, based on whichever

more often owe you - then asset, otherwise liability, or just pick one,
it doesn't matter)

A quick edit.. When you say "enter all transactions from the source
account" I would say "source asset or liability account".
It can be very confusing entering data from an income, liability, or equity
account.

That way, you see all splits at all times and you don't have to fiddle
