Frank, Like the other David, on the other thread, it has been a while since I imported from Quicken. When I did, I was able to bring in everything in one huge pass. Gnucash properly created the many accounts and captured most of the transfers as well.
Are you exporting each account from Quicken separately? It sounds as if you are getting both sides of your transactions, i.e., the transfer payment from checking to your credit card is being processed once for the checking and once for the credit card. If this is what is happening for you, then there are two solutions: either match the second version to the first during the import process, or don't import the second transaction. I seem to recall that I didn't have to do much manual massage to my large quicken file when I imported way back when, so I believe that exporting the whole file (accounts, categories and transactions for it all) will catch those duplications. But I've been known to be wrong before. David T.
