: Hi, : I am converting over from Quicken to Fund Manager for managing

Hi Martin,
Automatic transfers to/from your default cash account do not
occur on transactions that you are importing, only on those that
you enter manually. It would be a good option to add in the future...
If you take a look at your .QIF file in a text editor, is the
date format DD/MM/YY or MM/DD/YY? It is exported based on your
Windows settings usually, rather than your Quicken settings. Quicken
may have exported the date in different formats for transactions/prices.
You can verify by opening the files up in a text editor. Thanks,
Mark
