: : : 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, : : : Alan Cooper : : 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 : : -- : : Mark Beiley : : : : Fund Manager, portfolio management software for Windows 95/98/ME/NT/00/XP : : /XP : : : 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 -- Mark Beiley
