quickbooks import fails

[MGabe]

I am using Quickbooks version Pro 2005. I have gone through the steps to
import my file into MSSBA and it says file is not valid. I have installed
SP2 and the update fix for QB import.

What is up

Hi MGabe,

Thanks Chris, my problem was i needed to rebuild the file in Qbooks even
though it said there was no problems with the file.

By the way it is taking forever to import a 41 meg file on a fast machine.
Any thoughts??

MGabe,
If your file is large it may take a long time to import. Also here is
another article to look at:

Chris,

I mean I let this run for over an hour and it didnt do a single transaction
just the header records. So i condensed the QB data down to the last five
years and it is a 35 meg file and it has been running for the last 20 to 30
minutes.

What is a long time?

MgABE,
Your file may be too large to import.
