Dates in Ledger moved forward

[Ian Anderson-10]

I am a new user to Kmymoney ver 1.0.0. I am trying to abandon the last
reason for using Windows!

The only problem I have found so far is that when I insert my OFX
downloads using either MS Money OFX or Quicken OFX files into KMyMoney
the date in the account ledger has moved forward by one day.  

In other words bank statement dates of 01/8/09 become 31/7/09 in KMM,
and 02/8/09 becomes 01/8/09 in the account ledger etc etc. (Using
standard dd/mm/yy date format)

The OFX file structures contain the right dates, so the problem is not
in the file download. Is there any way to correct this and avoid editing
every date field in the ledger.

Thank you for your help  Ian Anderson

Welcome to that still growing crowd.

We know of a problem in LibOFX (which we simply use for the purpose of
interpreting the OFX data) that has to deal with date format, timestamps,
timezones and daylight savings time settings.

Can you provide us with a sample of some of the date entries?
