2 Year Plus Data Import from TD Ameritrade

Mark,

To compare the accuracy of data provided through OFX and transaction data files, I'm creating separate subportfolios in Fund Manager. Creating these subportfolios and subsequently retrieving the OFX data was a snap (of course, the accuracy of the OFX information is a different matter).

My problem: I'm afraid to make a big mistake while implementing the same process using transaction imports. Fortunately, my data vendor enables transaction data in increments of a year or less, for as many years back as I wish. For my purposes, 2.5 years will suffice.

My questions: Can you please offer directions on how to get the two 1-year and the one 0.5 transaction files imported into the newly created subportfolios? Any possible problem with the importation of data files larger than 1 month? Are default cash accounts handled the same way as through OFX? Thoughts on the likehood of greater accuracy using the data imports in lieu of OFX? Any other suggestions or insights regarding the optimal way to lessen the risk of inaccurate tallies via these data imports?
