The QIF export from the old version, and QIF import into the new
version all at once is the way.


If you want to do the QIF export/import, I would follow the steps
in http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;178830
except in the first step 4, I would suggest this: start the name of
the QIF file for the investment accounts with an underscore (_),
and start the name of QIF files for the cash accounts associated
with the investments with a letter. Thus you might have
_BrownInvestment.qif and BrownInvestmentCash.qif. This would cause
the investment account to be processed prior to the associated cash
account. When the BrownInvestment got created, you would specify
that you want to track the cash transactions. Then specify that
the cash transactions account for BrownInvestment was where the
BrownInvestmentCash.qif transactions get sent.

Then File-> Import ALL AT ONCE using Ctrl+<click> to select files.
Specify "New or Recovered" account when asked.

Of course you will use a different filename for the new file, and
you will have both versions to choose from when done. I would also
set up the backups to make sure they are using different names.

Hi,

I emigrated from the UK to Canada in 2003, and recently purchased the
Canadian version of MS Money 2006. Up until now, I used a UK version of Money
2001.

Money 2006 is unable to import my Money 2001 file, which I understand is due
to the fact that the file was created in a UK version and I'm trying to
import into a Canadian version. I don't have the exact error message to hand,
but it wasn't particularly unhelpful (something along the lines of 'Money was
unable to import this file'). To ensure the file wasn't corrupted, I tried
running the integrity checking utility on a backup copy of the file, and this
reported no problems.

From looking at the Knowlegebase, it appears my only option is to set up all
of the accounts in Money 2006, copy all of the account details across -
export all transactions as .qif files and then import them into Money 2006...
I tried this last night, but I have a whole bunch of duplicate transactions
which I would need to manually review and delete.

Is there an easier way to do what I'm trying to do?
