Hi Bob

She obviously doesn't read the boxes and is one of those that has to blame
someone else for what they didn't do..........It must be someone else's
fault.......not mine

Money 2004 does not convert Quicken 2004 files. I just
tried to convert today with the lastest Money 2004
updates. I had the same problem as David.

I just wasted $80 bucks on Money 2004. What's really
frustrating is that nowhere does Microsoft tell you this
does not work.

I don't know that I'd phrase it that way--because I don't think you can just
go out and buy this thing yourself--but it is also my understanding that
Microsoft has subcontracted out this piece. Perhaps that's why it has so
many issues for so many people?

Hi Dick

I believe the converter is a 3rd party software purchased by Microsoft. At
lease that is what I was told by Tech support a year ago.

David

And intuit doesn't want ANY Microsoft money customers. They don't offer a
converter at all.

You will probably have to wait for money 2005 to convert Quicken 2004.

The last time Microsoft slipped in a newer converter for the current version
of Quicken was M02, IIRC. It's not that they don't want to help or poach
customers. I'm sure. It's probably more an issue of getting 90% of potential
converters without having to stop work on next year's integrated Money
product. When you are selling the product for less than $20 and only have 25
or 30% of the market share for a relatively small market, you can't exactly
have hundreds of programmers sitting coding away trying to keep newsgroup
posters happy.

I see a few threads about this question. Maybe I am weird
or something, but they have been out for at least 6
months, yet there is still no 2004 converter? If this is
the case, are you saying that Microsoft does not want to
help people on this? Or do we need to wait for Money 2005
to get a Quicken 2004 conversion tool.

Sounds interesting to me that Microsoft would not want to
help convert users to their product if they have a willing
customer???

So is there a tool, or documentation on how to convert the
data, or do I need to wait for 2005?

Asked and answered repeatedly. M04 can convert Q03 and earlier files. Search
this group at http://groups.google.com for hundreds of threads explaining
why this is and what to do about it.

Hello,

I tried to convert a fine working (and validated), Quicken
2004 file to Money 2004. The conversion went fine until
the end, when it spit out a report.

All the accounts have a $0 amount on the Money side, but
the correct dollar amount on the quicken side:

Account Name Quicken Balance Money Balance
XYZ 0.00 0.00
Cash Account 105.12 0.00
Your Quicken file contained invalid transaction types.

No data on what is invalid just many of these errors in
the file.

Any ideas of what I can do?? I am using the trial
version. I would never buy the software if I have to
enter all the data :-(

Thanks,
David
