John - I wasn't complaining. I wasn't trying to be cute. I *was* trying to
understand your comment that you can still do QIF imports. I do remember
(that's the allusion to the "methodology") you mentioning some type of
procedure here in the past so I wanted to make sure I knew what you were
talking about.
I do see Bob Wang's reference to http://www.somacon.com/p468.php in a later
post on the subject, so I am also enclosing it in this thread in case
someone sees it and wants to know how, since, although you said it was
possible, there was no reference in this thread (I think) on how to do it.
I'm fine now. I've saved the referenced procedure offline to keep it handy
for the future. Thanks.
