Thanks guys, at least that has eliminated the size as a problem. I'm back up
and running now, so I'll just have to hope I don't have another hard drive
crash and 3 corrupt sets of backups!

I too exported then imported all of my accounts using QIF files into a new
Money file using Money 2002. I had no problems. Some of my accounts were
huge spanning 10 years or more so the size issue is not the problem. I did
not start with a corrupt file, however, so I suspect that that issue is your
actual problem.

I did a complete rebuild as you're doing. My main checking account QIF was
459K and imported without a problem. I don't think that's the issue.

Split the file into files less than about 45kB in size and I can import them
individually OK (original failing one is 141kB).

Can't find anything on the web about QIF file size limits - my only theory
is that Money 2002 is tied into the W9x Notepad file size limit of 64k (I'm
running W98SE). If Money uses components of Notepad this could cause a
problem.

Bit crappy if that's the case.

Having suffered a file corruption (Money 2002), I've exported all my
accounts as QIF and am importing them to a fresh Money file.

All the accounts import OK except 2 of them, which are my longest-standing
and most important ones. The import simply stops when it has imported
approximately 400 transactions. It stops without the usual "import complete"
dialog.

It's totally repeatable for each account. The QIF files themselves look OK
(the import stops about 1/3 of the way through).

Does anyone know of any inherent limit on importing QIF files?

The only solution I could think of was to split the QIF files into several
smaller files (haven't tried it yet).
