this means that "Existing Account" is not 'compatible' with the account that you names as "Existing Account" in the QIF importer. 'compatible' means: - same Currency and Security - compatible Type and so on. You don't want to assume that a QIF imported account with currency in dollars is the same as one that happens to already exist but has currency of Euros, for example, or that a Bank account and an Expense account are the same, so we change the name of the imported account slightly when there's a collision. It's altogether possible that the compatibility check is failing for two accounts that ought to be compatible. The way to determine that is first to understand what the QIF importer thought was so different about the account that was described in the QIF file from the account that already existed. Look at "Existing Account" and "Existing Account 2" in the Account Editor. What's the same and/or different about them? b.g. _______________________________________________ gnucash-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.gnumatic.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-devel
