<p>If you export transactions to a QIF file then import the QIF file into the same data set then you are duplicating those transactions. This is expected behaviour.</p>
<p>There is no simple way of undoing this, there could potentially be thousands of transactions. In such a case then restoring from backup may well be the only viable approach.</p></div>dwgtag:infinitekind.tenderapp.com,2009-01-14:Comment/490532872021-02-24T04:27:17Z2021-02-24T04:27:20ZUndo import of qif file<div><p>I was able to get Moneydance file from the backup folder. Thanks!</p>
<p>However, this message “ Convert and Import File” keeps on appearing. What should I do? I only need the Moneydance file.</p>
<p>Thanks,<br>

<p>Let us proceed on the assumption that something that has been done that has left a pointer or something.</p>
<p>To see if might be the case and to test a solution you can try to rename the configuration file.</p>
<p>As you appear to be using Mac OS, it should be located at one of these locations within your Home folder:</p>
<p>~/Library/Containers/com.infinitekind.MoneydanceOSX/Data/Library/Application Support/Moneydance/config.dict</p>
<p>or:</p>
<p>~/Library/Application Support/Moneydance/config.dict</p>
<p>If you have any trouble finding your Home Library folder you can open Finder and hold down the option key while selecting the Go menu and the Library folder option should occur or you can open Finder and select Go -> Go to Folder and copy and paste in the following:</p>
<p>~/Library</p>
<p>This should pull up your local Library folder.</p>
<p>Once you've found your config.dict file, close Moneydance and rename it (to something like config-org.dict, for example), then open Moneydance again and it will appear as though you've just installed Moneydance for the first time and may have to locate and open your data set again.</p>
<p>You can then see if the errant message reappears.</p>
<p>If it does not you can continue using the new configuration file by while viewing your data file, choose Help --> Register Moneydance and input your license key.</p>
<p>If you run into any problems, you can simply close Moneydance and rename config-org.dict file back to config.dict and open Moneydance again to restore your original settings.</p></div>dwg
