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 edit all oft the QIF files with a text editor (such as Notepad)
and not a word processor. You do not want formatting characters or
other such characters to be created in the file. Leave the first
line intact. Then delete records that you do not want included. A
record ends with a '^' character on a line by itself. The records
are normally in chronological order, which should help a lot.

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.

Remember to keep an extra copy or backup of your file(s) to let you
undo things.

Could you give me a little more insight into what kind of special handling might
be needed for transfer files? I do have quite a few of them with automatic
redistribution of direct deposited funds.

Oh, and you will have to hand-adjust account beginning balances to account
for the additional transactions.

To what Cal offered, I'd add that if you want to go the QIF route, beware
that Loan Accounts are not handled by QIF and Transfers require special
handling at the import step to stay sane. If you go this route, BE SURE to
use copies of your main data file until you get the kinks ironed out.

Simple answer if you were looking for a simple process: no.

However it is possible to export QIF files from one file, edit to
remove the dates you don't want moved, and File-> Import the QIF
files.

When I first began using Money98 I made an archive file at the end of the
calendar year. For my purposes, that was a dumb move, and I haven't done it
again. Is there a way to join the archive file to the bottom of my active .mny
file?

Thank you.
