I was importing a quicken qif file (1.4MB) and the program appeared to reach about 68% in last (?) stage when program quit -- window disappeared as did the task bar tab. No error messages or any other indicators. Can restart the program but it does not show any sign of the import. Reproducible: Always

It probably may not be possible to get to the cause of your particular problem without access to your file, I'm afraid. I could possibly be a time-out problem with such a fairly large file. If you are willing to send a copy off-line to me, I'll do my best to find the cause. Otherwise, see below. One approach which usually helps is to do the importing in stages. If you still have access to Quicken, you could try exporting in sections rather than in a big bang. If you have investments, the prices can take up a lot of room. If you are reasonably adept at editing files, a QIF file is in text format and can easily be pruned, just make sure to retain the '^' separator between entries. Have a look at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quicken_Interchange_Format#Data_format, which explains the format and gives suggestions on dealing with importing. Don't hesitate to get back in touch if you're stuck. Allan
It's also recommended that you upgrade to 4.6.4, which has several fixes for imports.

I deleted the price records and the file imported, but it is not usable. kmymoney4 complained about not finding many things such as categories. I will try to import in stages with the transaction being the last. However on casual inspection of the quicken qif file not all the categories seem to be exported! scsparky
Did you try importing this with the latest version?
