OK - there are several issues here.<br>
<br>
First, I thought I saw in a separate message that you got this to<br>
work. Am I confusing two different threads?<br>
<br>
Second, I think this is the first time you said that KMM gave an error<br>
message "Account has invalid type" before freezing. If we knew this at<br>
the beginning, we could have saved a lot of steps.<br>
<br>
As Allan said, KMM currently does not deal with the Tag section in<br>
QIF. To remove that section, in a text editor, remove all lines from<br>
"!Type:Tag" to the line before the next "!Type" line. (As a wishlist,<br>
should it at least ignore it?)<br>
<br>
dos2linux and dos2unix are essentially the same, and which one you have<br>
depends on your distribution. Also, as has been said in other<br>
messages, it doesn't matter, as KMM doesn't care about which type of<br>
line ending you have.<br>
<br>
Sorry it's taking so long to get this to work, but get it sorted out.<br>
