Merging Files in Q2007 Rob Hansen 03-04-2007

I have two businesses and do my checking transactions with individual
quicken files. One is called "Checking" and the other is called "Checktot."
At the end of the month, I have to take the month's checking transactions
from "Checking" and import them into "Checktot" for my accountant. This was
easily accompolished in Quicken 2004 (which I upgraded from). I would go to
"Checking" and export a .qif file. In the export window, I would change the
dates to include only the transactions I needed, and I would name the file
and export it to my Quicken directory. Then I would open the "Checktot"
file, click on Import, import the .qif file which I just created from
"Checking," approve the imported transactions and they would merge into my
"Checktot" file. I can't do this in Quicken 2007. When I go to the
"Checktot" file and click on Import qif file, it asks me for the quicken
account I want to import into. The only selection is "All Accounts" and when
I click on "next" it tells me that I need to specify an account to import
into. So, I'm stuck for now unable to merge the two quicken files. Live
support was unable to help me with this problem, but I'm sure there is a
simple solution. Please help!! Thanks.

Q2007 can import to cash, asset, and liability accounts. Create
a "cash" account in your "checktot" file; import to that.
