<p>The file is exactly the same regardless of what it is called and
what extension it has. The extension tells the operating system
what type of file it is. This lets the OS give it the appropriate
file icon and knows which application to open it with when you run
the file. If you mac is confused about which progam to open QIF
files with you can cange this. Heare is a link to some instruction
on changing how to assiocate a file with a particular program on a
mac.</p>
<p>Either way it does not matter what program the OS thinks should
open the file you can still select and attempt to import it with
quicken.</p>
<p>Sincerely</p>

<p>This is more of an Apple issue, I think.</p>
<p>As qif files are fairly common, I would expect a qif to show up
with there Intuit default assigned icon, like a doc icon for a
Microsoft Word document.</p>
<p>I'd never seen this behavior before.</p>
<p>The initial export from the Mac to qif defaulted to a text file.
The second export, where I manually entered the .qif extension, was
interpreted as a quicktime image.</p>
<p>I am hoping the latter will be interpreted as a proper qif file
when trying to import into Quicken 2007 for Mac.</p>
<p>Thank you for your timely response.</p></div>alex_pbtag:infinitekind.tenderapp.com,2009-01-14:Comment/2185842009-06-24T21:35:53Z2009-06-24T21:35:53Zexport to qif<div><p>I'm sorry I didn't include the link on instruction for how to
