Hi Kalpesh, Thanks for the reply!
I don't see anything way over described. Congratulations! You managed to identify and explain what changed the behavior of my import with U+C. And... as always, John Ralls is right, it wasn't a U+C fail. :) But I still want to recover my QIF Descriptions/MEMOs. -- Regards GTI Em qui., 4 de dez. de 2025 às 19:55, Kalpesh Patel <[email protected]> escreveu: > Oh my, this is way over described! > > "If it didn't fail, something that changed the behavior of my U+C > happened." -- that happened because you somehow UNTICKED in front of the > "Append" near bottom of the dialog box in the match transaction window > (same place where you have option for A, U+C or C) while selecting 'U+C' > for it.
