Do you mean Microsoft Money? If so, you will have to export your data in a
format that is digestible by one of GnuCash's importers. I'm not familiar
with M$ Money, but it should at least be able to export to QIF format. In
GnuCash you would then do File->New->New File and create an account tree,
followed by importing your QIF data (File->Import->Import QIF...)

Also see here (Money should be similar):
