I just purchased MS Money 2004 Standard so that I could try again. Same
problem.

Then I tried following your instructions. I backed up my Quicken file to
my desktop, gave it a new name, and then restored it. I then tried to
import the Quicken file I had stored on my desktop. I got the same old
error message:
"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. Try
closing other programs and making sure the disk you are copying your file
to has enough space. Then try converting the file again."

What did I do wrong?

It is probably due to the amount of times you have saved
data or upgraded Quicken; I had the same problem and
almost went back to Quicken (glad I didn't now). Try
backing your file up to one spot then saving your current
file as a new name. Restore the backup in Quicken (which
will bring back your original name) then try Money
convert on this fresh version. That worked for me as I
had almost a decade of data on Quicken with 4-5 upgrades
over the years.

Hello,

I have a relatively new Compaq Desktop (2.5 GHz Celeron with 512 MB RAM).

I have a Viewsonic Pocket PC and I wanted to use it to track my financial
data so I purchased Money 2003 Standard.

I tried several times to convert my Qucken Data (it's a big file--I've
been using Quicken since 1995). My Quicken program is Quicken 2001
Deluxe.

Anyway, the MS Money program started to convert and after a few minutes
said:
"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. Try
closing other programs and making sure the disk you are copying your file
to has enough space. Then try converting the file again."

But I have a large 40 GB HD, and 512 MB RAM (includes Video RAM) so I
don't understand the problem.

I tried Validating my Quicken data first as the program suggests, but
this did not help.

Anyway, I returned the MS Money program because I couldn't make it work.

However, I still want to use my Viewsonic Pocket PC to track financial
items, but I don't want to buy any additional Pocket PC programs.

Does anyone know if MS Money 2004 will be better able to cope with
converting my data from Quicken 2001 Deluxe?
