Import Window On Qif Files

I do run MTH alongside a couple of other programs. When I import any QIF file the import works okay however in the import window where you match the entries to an account the balance on the balance column each entry is always shown a -£1.00. Is this a problem? Its always been there since I began using the software and imported from MS Money. I cannot understand its use

Hello,


Not a problem, the balances are not calculated during the import because it is not known at what account and in what order the import is going to be applied to. Once import is completed then the balances are recalculated and adjusted accoring to the imported information

The reason there is a balance column during import is because the table is re-used in few different places unrelated to imports and there it makes sense - for example when browsing the history of a payee or a category the balances are correct


Thanks
