I tried a Q 2004 to Money 2007 and it made a complete and utter mess of it.
I had to print out each bill, deposit and account details and start from a
new.

If I had to do it all over again, I would have never tried to convert, I
spent 4 times the amount of time trying to unsuccessfully convert than I did
starting from a blank page. I have approximately 11 investment accounts, 9
Banking and Credit Card accounts, 2 car loans, a mortgage and 6 cash accounts
that I track. I spent 8 hrs from a blank page and a good 4 days prior to
that trying to fix the conversion mess.

Good luck!

Thanks - I'll try removing the password, because the small file was not
password protected. I also want to point out that I am converting from
quicken 2004 (as I mention in the subject of my post).

If that does not apply, you might try removing your Quicken password
first.

Remove the password on your Quicken file, if any. Then 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 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 downloaded the Money 2007 for Windows free trial, and I can't convert my
existing quicken file (15.8MB). I tried with a different quicken file (500
kB) and that converted immediately. Right after "Money is converting your
file!", I am asked for my password, and then I get

"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."

I tried this with nothing else running except Money, and I got the same
problem. I have 10GB of free space on the drive I am using. I am using
Windows XP, with 1 Pentium processor.
