Well, I would first like to say thanks for the very thoughtful and informative replies!
I should have mentioned in my first post that I am not an overly "inner works of a computer" savvy person and even less so with the inner workings of software some of that was a bit over my head. When I first set up GC a few years ago I don't really recall any major issues when I imported my quicken file. I thought I downloaded what was the current version of GC and then imported my quicken file. If that were the case I think I would do that now and not bother with updating. I am gathering that was not likely the case. So, I don’t just import my one Quicken file but have to import multiple files or files individually? It was mentioned a couple of times that there would be a lot of updating taking place. Is that also the case if I just uninstall and start over? I assume not but gather going that route that the importing of my quicken file will be difficult and take a loooong time. Am I reading that correctly? I should probably make sure it’s clear that all I would be importing is one quicken file. That file does have multiple accounts but really only one with much data and that is my main checkbook going back 20+ years. I really only use it as a ledger to track my main ck’ing account and balance it. My quicken file is one file. I don’t know how I would import it in increments like 3 months at a time. When I import is there an option to do that? Also it was mentioned that the version I have has a bunch of imports. In my thinking, it just has the one import but I am sure I am wrong on that. Why is my one file import "a bunch of imports?" I am not clear on “performing reconciliations.” After the import will I get a message or messages saying, “these transactions need some sort of attention?” I do vaguely remember some of that but it didn’t seem like a lot. I am running on Windows 10. If it’s a matter of just having to install the new version and import my quicken file and I can expect few issues I am inclined to go that way. If instead, importing my quicken file will require many items to be addressed (reconciled) then it’s probably most wise to update. I probably was not as clear as I should have been in my first post. -- Sent from: http://gnucash.1415818.n4.nabble.com/GnuCash-User-f1415819.html _______________________________________________ gnucash-user mailing list [email protected] To update your subscription preferences or to unsubscribe: https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user If you are using Nabble or Gmane, please see https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Mailing_Lists for more information. ----- Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.
