Hi, The QIF importer doesn't support multi-currency.. I don't even know what a QIF multi-currency transaction LOOKS like! So, I'm afraid that it just wont work for the forseeable future.
A couple of suggestions: 1) Import it account-by-account and then manually adjust the exchange rates 2) Start from scratch. 3) I can't think of a #3. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news. -derek "Agni Dasa" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: > Hi GnuCash Developers, > > I just installed the latest version of GnuCash 2.1.5 for Windows and tried > importing my Quicken 2002 Premier Home & Busness QIF file that includes > multiple currency accounts.
