I am trying to import information from a checking account into QBP. The
bank's eport choices are .qif, .ofx, .ofc, or .csv. I have tried downloading
the account information as a .csv and saving it as an excel spreadsheet, but
I cannot get the mapping right to import it into QBP. It does not show up in
QBP when I import it even thought it sometimes tells me the import was
successful. Also, it always tells me there are duplicate files when I cannot
see any that have been imported. I am using QBP 2004, but I am going to move
up to QBP 2007. Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you.

Btw, you should get this info from QBP's Help file.

First, you need to know your way around VBA
Secondly, you need to know in what format QBP need the data to be eg
delimited, fixed length, etc
Thirdly, you need to know in what sequence the data should be presented to
QBP,
eg, Date, Debit, Credit, Ref. and so on
Fourhtly, you need to know whether QBP wants this info in a .csv or maybe a
..txt file.

Knowing all this, you can then write a macro that you can run on the
original .csv file, which wil organise the data as required by QBP, eg using
the correct type such as comma seperated values, tab seperated values or
fixed length, using the correct sequense, which may be totally different from
that of the original file, and then saving an or renaming it to the correct
file type.

I have done this for Pastel, and it makes life a lot easier, but first you
have to get all these points sorted out
