Not sure where you got that info from Timothy but it's not right - skrooge does import and export KMM files. Be that as it may, it's academic as it requires KDE 4. I should have read your question more carefully, sorry.<br>
<br>I note the suggestion that Christian has made and recommend you wait a while and see if the developer can come up with an answer for you.<br><br>Ian<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On 20 May 2011 10:14, timothy <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:timboyle@afrihost.co.za">timboyle@afrihost.co.za</a>></span> wrote:<br>
<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;">I have just had a look at skrooge. I runs on KDE 4.x which I am not using<br>
at the moment. I am still using kmymoney 1.0.5 because of the speed<br>
considerations. However when I upgrade to Natty I will have the latest<br>
KMM and KDE installed by default so will try again from there. BTW I see<br>
skrooge handles QIF and OFX import, but only QIF and CSV export.<br>

</div><div class="im">Thanks. That is definitely worth a try. It might mean that I would<br>
download a PDF file, convert it to QIF, import to skrooge, export to QIF<br>
again and then import to KMM. At the very least I might get some insight<br>
into what sort of format is acceptable in kmymoney and what is different<br>
in my files. Does skrooge handle OFX export?<br>
