: 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
: D01.01.02
: NShrsIn
: YABN Nikkei 225
: I134.672657
: Q350
: U47,135.43
: T47,135.43
: ^
: D01.01.02
: NShrsIn
: YBASF
: I41.639667
: Q150
: U6,245.95
: T6,245.95
: ^

: Any ideas?
: Thank you,

Hi Alan,

The problem is the format of the date line. It has periods, and
FM is expecting forward slashes. Which version of Quicken are you
using? I will make FM support this format with version 6.1. Would
you like to test out a beta version of 6.1 with this fix? If so, let
me know, and I'll e-mail it to you. You could also use a workaround
of modifying the QIF file to change all the lines beginning with a 'D'
as shown here:

From:
D01.01.02

To:
D01/01/02

Thanks,
Mark
