Importing File truncates Account name

Nov 10, 2005 1 Replies

I have an in-house application in which we print checks, and we created a program to create a Tab-Delimited file with the check transactions, to import into Quickbooks. These checks are from different accounts, so we have a mix of account checks into the files. The problem I am having is that for the accounts with long names (30+ characters), it truncates the account name when importing, so a new account is created instead of putting the transactions into the corresponding quickbooks account. Do you know whay is this happening?



Account names are limited to 31 characters. If you download the QBXML spec from Intuit's IDN site, it shows all fields in all records with string sizes, data types, etc.
