Thank you Cal and Treadmill.... I have tried all of Cal's suggestions with no
luck. I will try your suggestions Treadmill and see if I can get it done.

I had same error, trying to convert Quicken 2002 to Money 2003 and 2004. I
tried all the validate, super validate etc, and it didn't make any
difference whatsoever. I finally bit the bullet and made a QIF files for
each account and read them into Money. BTW, there are suggestions in the
archive for this group about sorting the QIF files, and reading them all in
at once.

While reading the QIF files, there was one investment account that Money
generated lots of errors reading the QIF, so I went back to Quicken,
deleted that account, tried again to run the converter - and it worked! I
read in the 1 QIF file for the account that had trouble, and everything was
there.

You could perhaps avoid all the QIF nonsense by making a copy of your
Quicken file, deleting accounts to see which one(s) might be causing your
problem.

Overall, I've been happy I made the change.

There has been an automatically downloading update of Money 2005
just announced as being there soon. I don't know if that will have a
modification that will help your conversion, or not.

I would do internet updates within Money for the next few days, and
when that updates occurs, try the conversion again. Help-> About...
and checking the version will be a good way to see if an update has
been applied.


Here are some general things that could also help, but I would still
prefer to do the conversion after the anticipated update:

First do Validate in Quicken. I think that is File-> Validate.

Rick Hess posted that in Quicken you can select File-> Copy, and let
it make a copy of your file. This routine will, among other
things, defragment your Quicken file. Then convert the copy.

Change all custom types to standard Quicken types. Any custom type
will be converted to type Mutual Fund by Money.

Consider having a minimum of other things running when you do
the conversion in Money.
http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;310560
describes Clean boot etc.

If the above are not successful, consider Super-Validate in
Quicken. Hold Ctrl+Shift keys down during the Validate process.
However http://www.intuit.com/support/quicke.../win/6148.html
warns of unneeded super-validate.

I am getting the following error when I try to convert my Quicken 2004 file
to Money 2005 Premium. It is not that big of a file (about 6 MB) and I got
plenty of disk space and memory... Anyone know what is going on?
---------------------------- Your Quicken file could not be converted.
Money could not convert your Quicken file. You might have run out of disk
space or system memory.
Try closing other programs and making sure the disk you are copying your
file to has enough space. Then try converting the file again

Thanks!
