Quicken conversion

[Mike]

I downloaded the trial of Money 2004 from MS. However,
when I converted a Quicken file (containing many years of
data), everything in Money was blank. The preview window
that displays showed that the correct Quicken account
amounts but only zero for the Money acounts. Any clues?

Which version of Quicken? Money is always 1 year behind Quicken in providing
conversion. So N2004 can convert Q2003 and earlier but not Q2004.

that is the problem...it is Quicken 2004. However, I
wounldn't think that the file structure would be so
different between versions....

Oh it is. I personally suspect a bit of gamesmanship by Quicken to try and
make it hard for Quicken users to desert to Money. Along the lines of "Oh if
I have got to wait a year before I can convert to Money I might as well stay
with Quicken"
