I found that I could import a lot more, but I found I was going crazy trying to make everything look right, which ultimately seemed pointless for things like long-ago closed bank accounts etc. Since I had been using Quicken since the 1990s I had a number of "historical" transactions I MIGHT conceivably want to look up, so I exported those and kept the (enormous) QIF files. Any time I want to find a transaction I can just do a few searches through the QIF file and find the transaction date and the amount. If I really really want to, I COULD create a "historical" GnuCash book with the imported data and just ignore the odd balances etc. (I'm looking through my data and found that I kept a complete QIF I exported in 2000, and then another one I exported in 2007. I believe 2007 is when I gave up on Quicken for good, so my original GnuCash-only data was based upon 2006 and 2007 transactions only.) > ----- > Please remember to CC this list on all your replies. > You can do this by using Reply-To-List or Reply-All. > _______________________________________________ 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.
