My Kmymoney file is as old as 2008 or earlier. I cannot recall having
created a new one. Could you please send me your OFX file that works and
I will send on my file. I note that I have a SUBACCTFUND field of CASH
in my file.
How would one copy the contents of the existing money file to a newly
created on?
