Do Help-> MicrosoftMoneyHelp, and enter "phone" into the search box.You can back up to a hard disk, and then burn that .mbf file onto your CDR with the software that came with your drive. With Windows XP, you can back up to the "hard disk" that corresponds to your CD/R drive. Browse to the drive from "My Computer". That will put the file onto a staging area on your hard drive. Consider modifying the backup file name to incorporate the date. |

| Re: Quicken XG 2004 to MS Money 2005 Cdn Std Edt It was a QIF export from Quicken and then import into MS Money. Does MS fix these files and then ship them back to clients? I did a SUPER VALIDATE to my Quicken file, tried the wizard and then also tried the QIF export / import, still failed. Seems to be pointing at some unexpected structures in the Quicken data base file, that MS Money can not understand ... Can I get a refund from MS?

| RE: Quicken XG 2004 to MS Money 2005 Cdn Std Edt I attempted to export a QIF file of one of my chequing accounts, which works fine in quicken, and allows internet downloafing of transactions from my bank. When I tried to import the QIF file into MS Money, I got this error: "The file you attempted to import appears to be invalid or contains corrupt data. Please download the file again. If this problem continues, contact your financial institution.". No matter what combination of export options I choose, I get this error. I also did download the latest MS Money updates.

| Quicken XG 2004 to MS Money 2005 Cdn Std Edt I just purchased MS Money Cdn Standard Edition. The install was successful. When the Quicken conversion wizard ran, it said, "Your Quicken file could not be converted". What do I do now? I can not return the software, as it is opened ... why would it not convert my Quicken file? I did a validate first and it came up clean and I have never had a single problem with the data file. Can I email the file to MS and have them do the conversion and have it sent back to me? Any help? I'm tired of that horrible Quicken product and their non existent support. I'm looking forward to some help from you all. Thanx! Shane |
