Thanks Geert, yes I have previously had a go at that other forum no response.
I have this morning created reports from the corrected XML file. I am starting to input manually. It may take a week or so to re-input the data but carrying on with the current effort is completely pointless. I do think that the GNU cash Web site should take down any link to the App and further issue a massive health warning about the App. Having said that. Since upgrading I gave scheduled a daily QIF download from the App. GNU Cash so far appears to be able to handle these tiny QIF files. But I would urge users not to enter a volume of data on the App. It is a disastrous waste of time.
