QIF Import Error

I'm using the latest version 1.1.0.2

I have created two accounts - these both happen to be with the same bank. I have then downloaded 12 months worth of transaction in QIF format. The first file for the first account was dragged and dropped with no issues. The second file gives this error:

I double checked and am not trying to import the same file twice.

Hey Carl,

Do both your QIF files have an Opening Balance as the first transaction, like so:

Code: Select all

!Type:Bank
D15/10'2008
T0.00
CX
POpening Balance
L[My Account Name]
^
I use this to grab out the account name, so I'm wondering if that could be missing/different.

Neither of the files show an opening balance or account name. They just start with the latest transaction:

The first 8 digits of the QIF filename is the account number. That is the only way I can tell them apart.

Ok thanks. I think that'll be the reason. Will work on a fix.
