Actually, since the file originally started on a Mac, I
figured Money detected that and caused it to screw up out
of spite...

Money normally puts credits before debits for just that reason, so I guess
it must be a QIF effect.

You could use a text editor, such as Notepad, to re-order the
transactions to your satisfaction, and then import.

I only have one QIF file to import. I've only used
Quicken to keep track of my checking.

When I import a QIF, transactions are horribly out of
order. For example, what might be in Quicken as:


1/1/2004 DEP Payroll 1000.00 1000.00
1/1/2004 3154 Daycare 300.00 700.00
1/1/2004 EFT Cable 60.00 640.00

might show up in Money as:

1/1/2004 3154 Daycare 300.00 - 300.00
1/1/2004 EFT Cable 60.00 - 360.00
1/1/2004 DEP Payroll 1000.00 640.00

Yeah, the ending balance may be the same, but I just
don't like the color red in a financial program. Is the
disorder just something inherent in the QIF?

To avoid transfers from turning into two separate transactions, it
is important to import the QIFs into the new file all at once.
This is done by selecting using Ctrl+<click> to highlight all of
the files you want including. Further, before doing the import,
the QIF files containing the investment cash accounts
should be named something alphanumerically higher than the
investment transactions of the account. So you could have
"Merrill" and "Merrill Cash", but you would not want "Merrill Inv"
and "Merrill Cash". "_Merrill Inv" and "Merrill Cash" would be
good. So one way around this is to export investment accounts to
files who's name starts with an underscore.

Money 2005 is expected to be out later in the year. If prior
patterns hold, it would be able to convert Quicken 2004.

Dan

Before using Money 2004 to convert your Quicken files, did you Validate the
Quicken files? (Quicken - File:File Operations:Validate)

I validated my Quicken XG files before converting to Money 2004 and
everything went very smoothly, but the validate procedure did find and
skip/fix a couple of file errors.

Regards

Keith

Default Quicken to Money
I've tried to convert my Quicken 2004 information to
Money 2004. After searching the newsgroups, I found that
Money 2004 won't import Q2004 files.

So I exported my Quicken stuff as a QIF. Money started
but crashed. Before it did, I saw that a lot of the
information was out of order, which was causing a lot of
negative balnces to show up. I'm not THAT bad off.
Almost, but not quite.

Is there any easier way to get my Quicken information
into Money without having to do a lot of reorganinzing
and detective work to get it all sorted out?

Thanks.
