Thank you for following up.

If you don't mind, I'd like to start off by having you create a new (test) file to see if you experience the same issue in a new file as well. In doing so, we will be able to determine if this is caused by an issue within your current data file or the QFX file itself.

Follow the steps below to create a test file:

* Choose File menu > New Quicken File.

* Select New Quicken File.

* Click OK.
* In the File name field, enter the name of the new file, then click Save. Use a name like "Test File" to easily be able to tell it apart from your main file.

Don't use any of these characters: * ? < > | " : \ / (asterisk, question mark, left and right-angle bracket, pipe, straight quotation marks, colon, BACKSLASH, FORWARD SLASH). Also, don't add the .qdf extension; Quicken does that for you.
* Sign in with your Quicken ID (if prompted). If you are prompted to create a Quicken ID, click Sign In under the Create Account prompt. 
* Select to not use Mobile (if prompted).
* Attempt to import the QFX file as you normally would and see if it will let you import and add the account successfully or not.

From there, you can then switch back to your original file.

Follow the steps below to switch files:

* Click the File menu.
* Look near the bottom of the options list.
* Select the data file you want to open.

Quicken will list the most recently opened data files, with a checkmark next to the file you are currently viewing.

Let us know how it goes!
