Just finished 6 hours correcting all the data i imported and before I could save it, the program crashed. All I have is the unchanged imported data file........When it crashed, the file was lost but there is a log file......what it is I don't know..... Guess I have to start all over?

In any case, if you went that far back, there are some file compatibility issues to be concerned with. I do recall being irritated with the fact that the QIF importer failed to import memos in split transactions, and I think that has been fixed. The main thing is that neither David T nor I recall having a significant problem avoiding the potential duplicate transactions that could arise if the user does not know the best procedure (as you have seen).

If that is the c as e then we really do need someone who is familiar with the way it works now to jump in and help.

In my (admittedly ancient) experience, I worked to get the Quicken data just so, and when I imported everything, I had little to no duplicates. David (T.)

When I did, I was able to bring in everything in one huge pass. Gnucash properly created the many accounts and captured most of the transfers as well. Are you exporting each account from Quicken separately? It sounds as if you are getting both sides of your transactions, i.e., the transfer payment from checking to your credit card is being processed once for the checking and once for the credit card. If this is what is happening for you, then there are two solutions: either match the second version to the first during the import process, or don't import the second transaction. I seem to recall that I didn't have to do much manual massage to my large quicken file when I imported way back when, so I believe that exporting the whole file (accounts, categories and transactions for it all) will catch those duplications. But I've been known to be wrong before. David T.
