IF there is an application/tool that is capable of creating a ready-to-import file that would be a huge bonus.

The conversion program(s) would also have reside strictly on my computers, no internet processing or fees. --JEffrey Black M.B.A. _______________________________________________ gnucash-user mailing list gnucash-user@gnucash.org https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user ----- Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.
