Please log in for more thread options Thanks for your response, Han. The problem that prompted my original
post was solved by editing the exported qif file so every transaction
had a nonblank memo field, importing that file to a new account, and
recategorizing all those imported transaction that erroneously had a
class associated with them. There were a few other steps, much
experimentation, and numerous validates/super validates along the way.
I was hoping that some version of Quicken that runs on Windows ME
provided a reliable export/import capability that qif import/export is
supposed to provide with 2001.
