Forget my second post even though I changed it from Cash Flow to Property and also edited it to change checking to loan it does not recognize it as a loan account. So for now I guess I will have to follow the method posted by Anonymous.

Just figured out how to edit a checking account to make Q98 think it is a loan account so you can import QIF files that you have downloaded. Right click on your account name and select edit account. Then change it from cash flow to property debt or something like that. After two hours I am ready to post 2011 to my account register. Hope this helps.

This absolutely works with Q-98. Now all I want to do is to edit my checking account information to have Q-98 think it is a loan and then I will be able to continue to download qif files from my bank and import them into my register. If anybody has any hints on how to edit the account type from checking to loan please post it.

Same thing you must be using Q-98

I have the same issue as you do. My checking account (or any other account) is not listed. all I see is when I click it there is no accounts listed. Just noticed that there is a statement that you cant import a qif to checking, savings, 401K, credit card and all other brokerage accounts. It wants a OFX file but I can’t find a way to get the OFX file to import either.

Quicken 98. I was able to download a OFX file from my bank on line. There is no way (that I could find) to import it from my download file to Q98.

I have a bank that doesn’t have qfx downloads, but only direct connect and csv files. Any suggestions?

Does this work for Mac OSX? I have OSX 10.5.8, Quicken 2004 and Excel 2004. I tried to install xl2qif — Excel 2004 for Mac still has VBA and Add-Ins and it finds file corrupt and workbook not valid; it did try to install it, but did not finish, so I just uninstalled it from the Excel ‘Add-Ins’. Nowhere in the xl2qif literature or your helpful blog does it state which platforms supported.
