I've had similar problem - very frustrating.

Yes, except for clean boot. If it cannot convert on a W2K machine with 2G
of mem with nothing else running, I wouldn't trust it to run normally
either. (actually, I just don't know how I would 'clean boot' W2K)

I also tried 'unhiding' all my unused accounts as suggested in another
post. Sorry, I should have said that originally. SO I am still out of luck.

Thanks for the suggestions. I guess I stick with Quicken.

That is a pretty clear error message. Wait until you see what people
get when they try to open a Money 2004 file from Money 2003.

Did you try validate, super validate, and clean boot?

Default Converting to Money 2004 from Quicken2002

I am trying to decide whether to stick with Quicken or move to Money.
TaxCut and MS are offering a good rebate but I cannot convert my data
with the trial edition of Money. It provides the very useful
message,"Your Quicken file could not be converted." I sometimes wonder
if they pay people to think these up.

Checking this group suggests that this is not an isolated incident.

If I cannot convert, I cannot switch. There is too much to enter.

Is there a log file somewhere that might tell me more?

Thanks
