Default Re: Is this behaviour with QIF files normal?

That is normal behavior for QIF.

QFX and OFX transactions have unique transaction identifiers. Money knows
they've already been imported. QIF files do not have those identifiers.
Hence, Money cannot determine if they're real duplicates or simply
look-alike transactions.

The only way around this is to download OFX or QFX statements from your web
site, or download online statements using Money's update feature. (Others
will say the best workaround is to not download at all.)

QFX works okay for me from the one bank that produces them. They're
different from OFX by a line or two in the header. If they don't import
right for you, compare to an OFX download and edit the header lines where
different. Google this group for QFX and you'll find references to the fix.

Default Is this behaviour with QIF files normal?

I have just changed to a financial institution that provides on QIF format
files for downloading to Money 2007. Each transaction has only a D, T and P
entry. Example below:

D10/25/2006
T41.45
PCREDIT INTEREST
^

When I import the file for the first time, it lists all the transactions and
then asks me to 'Accept' or 'Change' each as I'm used to doing.

However, when I import the file again after having previously 'Accept'ed all
the transactions, Money 2007 is again asking me to 'Accept' or 'Change' each
transaction. It seems unable to recognise that this is a copy of a
previously 'Accept'ed transaction, and automatically match it. So now, I
have to re-accept ALL transactions everytime I re-import the file from my
bank.

This never used to happen with QFX files from my previous bank. Once I
accepted them, they stayed 'Accept'ed and I didn't have to matc them again
at the time of the next import.

Is this normal for QIF files? Anyway around this?

Thanks in advance.
