Hello all:

I feel I'm close to having a Quickbooks to GnuCash conversion process
completed (I'll post the recipe if I can make it work all the way).
Right now I have a python script that is reading IIF format and
generating QIF (see attached files).

When I import the QIF into GnuCash (1.8.8 debian sarge), in the next
druid page after QIF file selection, it says:

  The QIF file you have loaded appears to have transactions for just 
  one account, but the file does not specify a name for that account.

The default choice for the attached files is 'input'.  The rest of the
import proceeds without incidence.  When it is finished I have a file
with an 'input' account, when I would have thought I would have a '1st
Bank Checking' account.

Do I need to separate my big QIF file into separate files for all
accounts that occur in the 'L' field? Or do I specify an specific account
with a '!Account' record entry in the QIF?  Or (most likely) have I
missed some important aspect of QIF generation or GNUcash importing?

I suspect either of the first two answers are as much work to implement
in my python script, I'm just looking for a little direction from the
people in the know.

TIA

PS:  please cross-reply to me, as I have not subscribed to the lists
(yet).
