Do any gnu-cash user groups meet in person? I'd like to meet and perhaps occasionally work with other gnu-cash users. If no groups exist, but any of you might care to meet with another user, please direct reply. I live in central Connecticut and would be happy to host a group. I travel

I would also add that the ability to download from your bank is VERY dependent on the bank's support of non-Quicken downloads. My banks, for example, no longer allow OFX (I'm in the US) downloads unless it's Quicken. The good news is you can test all of this out in parallel before you make your

Others will likely help you get going on things like downloading bank transactions and the other things. As far as bringing Quicken data over to Gnucash, I did a big block of that a little over a year ago, because I wanted to have all the history available. Here's a regurgitation of a long
