The QIF import did lazy account creation -- it would only touch your actual account tree at the end, after you click "Finish". The Generic Importer, however, will make account modifications enroute, including creating new accounts. For QIF, new accounts wont get properly mapped into the tree, so you either need to pre-create the gnucash account and map it in the importer, or you need to modify the QIF to read, e.g.: LExpenses:Groceries instead of: LGroceries to properly place it in the tree. > Please remember to CC this list on all your replies. > You can do this by using Reply-To-List or Reply-All. -derek -- Derek Atkins 617-623-3745 de...@ihtfp.com www.ihtfp.com Computer and Internet Security Consultant _______________________________________________ gnucash-user mailing list gnucash-user@gnucash.org To update your subscription preferences or to unsubscribe: https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user If you are using Nabble or Gmane, please see https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Mailing_Lists for more information. ----- Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.
