I don't wish to use Money anymore, a bit tired of being locked into
proprietary file formats, and forced upgrades.

Besides, there are plenty of stable Linux desktops around these days,
trying out this this now - http://www.ubuntulinux.org/

Thanks,

Thanks, the information I had seen previously about that macro had
only described funtionality to go from Excel --> QIF, and as the name
of the macro suggests, that is what it does.

However, I now can see some small mention in the latest verion:

"When you install this macro, there is a new XL2QIF menu added to
Excel with an item to create a QIF file (Save to QIF) and an item to
import a QIF file (Load from QIF)."

so I will take a look at it.

Thanks,

Peter

The XL2QIF macro includes a QIF import function, so you can import any

Let me try to be clear, again.

Yes, there is no MoneyLink for M95. Sorry I even brought it up.

What I was suggesting was intermediate Money upgrade to a version that DOES
have a MoneyLink available.

If you *really* mean QIF, there was nothing significantly different
from a QIF file from later versions.

If you want to convert a QIF file to a 'flat' file -- whatever you
mean by that-- why not just use a text editor with macro abilities?

There is nothing on the Ultrasoft site, to convert Money 95 version
QIF files. I wouldn't want to use a trial version, as I don't want to
use Money any more, the file format is propietary, and that is the
exact reason why there do not seem to be any tools/utilities to
convert from QIF ---> other formats.

There are some exce macros, but they go the other way

other formats --> QIF

and one link for a .BAS file, that I could have used, no longer
exists.

Thanks,

Peter

Ahh. I missed the M95 part. But at the Ultrasoft site, there are versions
for M through M06. (The FAQ answer posted to the web is out of date. I've
fixed it in the database but haven't pushed lately.) This suggests one
possible path is an intermediate upgrade for your data file, perhaps through
a Money trial version--M04 would be the best bet as M06 might need an
intermediate upgrade through M04 anyway.

Hi,

Thanks for the information on Moneylink. I read up on it, and it is
for "Money 98 through Money 2003", so with Money 95, it wouldn't work
no doubt.

I have found that with exporting in general, when I run a transaction
report, and include all items, it doesn't include all the data, some
of the memo data is truncated, and other parts missing, so it would
seem that the export to QIF, will at least give a 'full' and exact
copy of each acount.

As was suggested on the link you supplied, the macro that creates QIF
formatted data could be used in this manner, .. "extrapolate from this
macro how to go the other way."

Thanks,

Peter

There's MoneyLink that will read all transactions for a specific account or
all accounts directly into Excel. There are a hoard of Excel and QIF tools.
See http://umpmfaq.info/faqdb.php?q=9 for links to some of them.

I notice there is an Excel macro that converts flat data into the QIF
format, suitable for importing into Money.

The macro is at http://www.respmech.com/mym2qifw/UtilityIndex.htm ,
and is called wm1248.exe

Is there any tool/utility that will read a Money QIF file (money 95
version), and convert the QIF data to a 'flat' file.
