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.
