<p>I just noticed that the dates on the transactions are all wrong.
You can<br>
see that some of the transactions are listed for even 2018, which
is<br>
absurd. Many of the other transactions are completely misdated.</p>
<p>Thanks.</p></div>Mark Steinertag:infinitekind.tenderapp.com,2009-01-14:Comment/399377412016-05-23T06:48:01Z2016-05-23T06:48:01ZImporting Quicken file<div><p>Wrong date on importing is quite common unfortunately.</p>
<p>Quicken tends to write the data format out as it wants no matter
what you may have it set to on your computer.</p>
<p>It is necessary to check the format in the QIF file and set the
Moneydance import to match this.</p></div>dwgtag:infinitekind.tenderapp.com,2009-01-14:Comment/399377412016-05-23T06:49:58Z2016-05-23T06:49:58ZImporting Quicken file<div><p><em>From:</em> dwg [mailto:<a href="mailto:tender+dd930070b4@tenderapp.com">tender+dd930070b4@tenderapp.com</a>]

<p>Thanks—it worked. What is missing is the check images I
had on the Quicken<br>
account.</p>
<p>Is there a way to attach check images (from the bank site) to
transactions<br>
in Moneydance?</p></div>Mark Steinertag:infinitekind.tenderapp.com,2009-01-14:Comment/399377412016-05-23T10:34:43Z2016-05-23T10:34:43ZImporting Quicken file<div><p><em>From:</em> dwg [mailto:<a href="mailto:tender+dd930070b4@tenderapp.com">tender+dd930070b4@tenderapp.com</a>]

<p>Did you receive my previous mail? I asked whether Moneydance
allows<br>
attaching the image of a check to a specific transaction…</p></div>Mark Steinertag:infinitekind.tenderapp.com,2009-01-14:Comment/399377412016-05-23T10:58:16Z2016-05-23T10:58:16ZImporting Quicken file<div><p>Mark,</p>
<p>I'm not a support person I am just a fellow user of the software
who answers questions here and there when I can, FWIW I have email
notifications turned off and just access the Moneydance support
forums via the web interface.</p>
<p>Moneydance does support attachments, but I believe you would
have to download them to your system to attach. It has been some
years since I used the localized version of Quicken (Australia) and
no bank here supports application based direct connection so that
sort of capability was never in the local software for me to look
at.</p></div>dwgtag:infinitekind.tenderapp.com,2009-01-14:Comment/399377412016-05-23T13:23:55Z2016-05-23T13:23:55ZImporting Quicken file<div><p>Hi Mark,</p>
<p>You can attach images to transactions by right clicking on the
relevant transaction and selecting 'Add Attachment'. You can also
do this by simple dragging an image file onto the relevant
transaction As Des has pointed out the attachments will have to be
stored on your local machine for you to attach.</p>
<p>I've had a look back through the discussion and can see that Des
has answered the majority of your questions. If you have any
questions left unanswered, or think of any new ones for that
matter, please let me know.</p>
