Hi, back on Jan 13th 2014 I downloaded  .QIF files from  each of my ANZ bank accounts. Most of these loaded successfully, however a couple of them fail  to load the transactions and give the message  "No valid records found to import". When I open the file with a program like notebook ( being careful not to save the file when existing notebook) the format of the file looks exactly like all the others the loaded successfully. Is there a reason that these records will not load?.  Is there a date after which they will not load?  Any ideas and help greatly appreciated.

Regards Ian

    Hi,

    I have answered my own question. What an Idiot I am, I created the wrong type of account, and it is of not surprise that records from a normal cheque/savings account do not load into a Quicken account created as a investment account intended for recording share trading.

    Problem solved.

    Hi Mirko,

    With the release of new version of Reckon Hosted.
    I cannot import now my bank statements (qif file) saved in my local pc.
    I tried the two blue buttons on the top page (upload and download)
    but it won't works and nothing happened.
    I can't see the uploaded files (qif) in B and Q drive to download from
    the import bank statement menu in Quickbooks.
    Please help.

    Many thanks,


    Rod Parungao

    I had another think about this,
    In your Q: has there been a folder created called upload? have a look in there for your .qif

    Hi Sue,

    It sounds like you're using Reckon Accounts Hosted.

    You will need to upload your QIF file to your Q drive. To do this, use the floating toolbar (it looks like a toolbox) and click the upload button. Upload and save the QIF in the Q drive. Then you will be able to import the QIF file into your file from the Q drive.

    I hope this helps.

    Luke.
