: .qif assuming that format. : MV Hi MV,
Regarding QIF date format... Not all versions of Quicken behave this
same way, so we maintain the flexibility to import either way. The
down side is that requires more input from the user to make it happen
correctly. It would be a good idea to add this option right
on the QIF import dialog, so the user knows about this option controlling
the import. Thanks,
Mark
