Hello Doug

The current version now is a wizard, and there are several steps to 
provide the needed information.

1) Firstly, you select either Banking or Investment, depending upon what 
you intend to import.
2) Then, in the scroll-box line-edit, you select either an existing 
profile, or select Add New Profile.
3) Then you select the file you wish to import.
4) The wizard moves to the second page, showing the file and its fields. 
  You may need to select the appropriate field delimiter.
5) Once the fields display correctly, click Next to advance to the next 
page.  Here you select the appropriate Date, Description/Payee and 
Amount columns you wish to import.
6) Click Next again and select the start and end lines you want to 
import, plus the correct date format.
7) If your selections are valid you can again click Next to go to the 
final page.  Now, if you select the correct Decimal Symbol of your file, 
the Amount column will be highlighted in green if all is well.
8) Now click Import and the KMM account selector should appear, followed 
by the usual import stats.

It takes five steps to get to the (Payment or Deposit) selection.  If 
you have just an amount field, the sign governs payment or deposit.  If 
you have separate fields for payment and deposit, you select those at 
step 5.

Perhaps if you say which step goes wrong, it will help.  Alternatively, 
if you could send direct to me an example of your file format with dummy 
data I should be able to help.
