Import fail. Newbie error?
PSikes
I imported my last three months transactions from my bank as a QIF. Worked perfectly, but all the descriptions were missing. So I tried again, importing a QFX. Again, successful, with descriptions! But now I had lots of duplicates. One with and without transaction description.
So, I deleted all the new transactions, and tried to import the QFX file again.
No import.
Did I screw this up by deleting the transactions?

I would restore a backup from before the import.

When importing a QFX, Quicken remembers transaction IDs. Then if those same transactions get imported a second time, Quicken ignores them as duplicates. (You originally had duplicates because you imported 2 different ways.)
If you are just beginning, the simplest path will be to create a new Quicken file and import the QFX into that. The new file will have no memory of the transactions you imported into the first file.

Thank you both for the quick response. I chose to first restore from my last backup. Then did the import operation again, from the QFX file. All good!
