Ok, I think I've got it. I had subscribed to both the Gnucash list and Nabble but was using just Nabble.. My bad. I haven't used a mailing list since the 80's and am a little rusty. I'll be better, I'll be better just as soon as I am able. On Sun, Feb 17, 2019 at 8:01 PM D wrote: > As I said: na

Thanks for the info. I have the same environment and will be doing the same manual editing you did. I apparently have more time than you had and will be trying to also fix things on the Quicken side. Thanks again for your post. -- Sent from: http://gnucash.1415818.n4.nabble.com/GnuCash-User-f141

I recently went through the process of importing from Quicken and encountered some errors. I exported different date ranges to narrow the problem down and eventually hand edited the lines in the QIF file that had problems. In my case, there were strings of non-alphanumeric characters in the file. I

That is a fair interpretation, since that's what the wiki says. However, it would appear that the wiki is in need of some correction. I'm not sure, but that wiki language may have resulted from a writer's misunderstanding of the different import vectors, with one writer assuming that account st

If you are in a mood to experiment you could try exporting as qif a limited date range of a month or so from the bank account in Quicken that should match the account you have already set up in Gnucash both with and without the account tree. Then try importing both. That might at least get all th

No, Quicken does not have the CSV option. It has the options to export transactions, account list, category list, memorized payees and security list.

Does Quicken offer the option to export just the account tree as a CSV? You can import an account tree into GnuCash if it is in the proper CSV format. This is a fixed format, you can’t map the columns so you’ll need to likley modify the Quicken export to conform before importing. Regards, Adrie
