: : : I recently downloaded FM 6 to evaluate and cannot import from Quicken. The message "Imported 0 Transactions" appears. Another message preceeds this but is immediately covered, so I do not know its content. : : : Is there a import restriction in the evaluation version? : : : Here is a sample from the QIF file that I am attempting to import: : : : !Type:Invst

: : : Hi Mark,
: Thank you for the quick reply. I manually converted a few of the dates and that did indeed solve the problem. As I do have a lot of data to import I would like to take you up on your offer of emailing a beta version 6.1 with the fix. The quicken version I am using is called "Swiss Edition". Thanks again,
: Alan Hi Alan, Thanks for the information. Sounds like the "Swiss Edition" has a different
format for the QIF files. I've added support for this in 6.1, thank you.
I've also just now sent you via e-mail a beta 6.1 to test this out. Thanks,
Mark
