Or you can do a search for "Microsoft Money 2007" on Ebay. While most
sellers will only ship to the US, I noticed that some will ship to both the
US and Canada.

I expect that order process would require you to give a US address.
I have seen somebody post giving a US address but still using a
Canadian credit card. I don't know if that always works.

thanks for the answers. When you say i "would have a problem upgrading from
the trial" what do you mean? Could I not install the trial and then, upon
successful conversion of my quicken files, download and install the full
version of Money 2007?

I don't know for sure if it would work. It would be good to test it
with a trial download.

Money 2007 is not sold in Canada. Money 2006 is. That's the way it
is. You could buy Money 2006, and I expect the box to indicate that
it should be able to convert your program. Read the small type on
the box. If it does not work, there is a 30 or 60 day return
privilege. If the retailer won't take it back, you could mail it to
Microsoft. That would not be convenient if it came to that.

Money 2007 Deluxe is available as a free download that you could
test with. But after the trial period, you would have a problem
upgrading from the trial, unless you shopped for Money 2007 in the
US. Money is not downward compatible; Money 2006 will not use a
Money 2007 file.

Suppose the trial Money 2007 Deluxe did a successful conversion. In
that case, you could uninstall Money 2007 Deluxe, and install Money
2006, which you could buy in Canada. I would expect the Money 2006
to be as successful at that conversion if Money 2007 was. If the
Money 2007 Deluxe trial is unsuccessful, I would not be as confident
one way or the other.

If you try the conversion, change all custom types to standard
Quicken types in Quicken beforehand. Any custom type will be
converted to type Mutual Fund by Money.

It is often suggested to do a Validate and a Super-validate in
Quicken before the conversion.
http://www.intuit.com/support/quicke.../win/6148.html seems to
imply that there could be a problem with that. So you might try
the conversion with and without doing that.

I am currently using Quicken XG 2005, the canadian version of quicken. If I
install Money 2007 will it be able to import and convert my quicken XG files
to Money files without me having to manually input all of my data all over
again? If 2007 won't do it is there a version of Money that will?
