That's my first choice. I already checked for uncategorized transactions, and will remove the few stock purchases. Any other risky types?

It was other things that didn't work. That method might affect its ability to catch transfers. (Another reason I prefer double-entry accounting. One transaction with many accounts, rather than two transactions.) > You might also try exporting just however many years of data from a single > bank account at a time until you have them all.
