Problems importing MS Money data into iBank 4
I'm brand new to this... just got a 15" MacBook Pro over the weekend after using a PC for longer than I'd like to admit. So far so good... However, I purchased iBank (4) because I was a MS Money user and needed something compatible. I got it specifically because it said I could import MS Money data, which is key because I have over five years' worth of data in that program.
I had three separate accounts in Money - 1 checking and 2 savings. I followed the instructions carefully--set up the accounts first, created QIF files for each Money account named exactly as they were in MS Money, and then imported into iBank. The two savings accounts imported flawlessly. However, the checking account has some issues. The ending balance isn't accurate. I tried deleting and starting from scratch multiple times, to no avail.
On the IGG Software Forums, other people suggested that transfers may have been duplicated, but this wasn't the case. I started going through the import line-by-line to match it against my MS Money data, and oddly some transactions just imported with completely incorrect amounts. For example, several of my payments to Comcast were, let's say $126 in MS Money. But in iBank they would be a totally different amount.
I'm hoping someone has some suggestions because I really don't want to lose 5+ years of banking data. I posted on the IGG Software forum and also emailed their customer support... but would appreciate any suggestions.
