Eric, I know you probably tried this , but when you are importing Are you checking the "c" box and not the "u+c" box. The "c" only clears, whereas the "u+c" UPDATES and clears.

There is an issue which has been bugging me for some time with regard to OFX/QFX imports: At least from my credit cards/financial institution, when data is imported it overwrites the existing data in both the "Description" and the "Notes" field...and, nine times out of ten, the QFX "Notes" field is essentially a rehash of the "Description" field. I like to leave transaction identification information in the "Notes" field so that months later (Tax time!) I can recall the exact purpose of a purchase without having to do a search through my email logs or PayPal transactions in order to identify what that eBay purchase was actually for. But at present any information I put there gets overwritten unless I remember to manually re-enter it after the transaction clears when I do an import from my financial institution. I'd like to have a switch somewhere in "Settings" where you could customize the QFX (and possibly QIF, although I don't use that much) import so that if the Notes field is non-blank it does not get overwritten by the imported data. Perhaps there already is such a switch and I've just missed it; if so could someone enlighten me? Otherwise I'd like to make this a formal feature request; how do I go about doing that? --------Eric H.
