Quicken Files

[David T.]

Guy--

I can't guarantee your results, but when *I* was in your position a few years back, I went into Quicken and asked it to export everything (transactions, accounts, and categories) to a QIF file, which I then imported into Gnucash. Gnucash was able to convert the QIF file, correctly getting categories into accounts, and I was mostly good to go. I did have to do some tweaking to the data, not to mention my mindset, to get things working.

Once you have gotten your data into Gnucash, I recommend reading through the Gnucash documentation (especially the Tutorial and Concepts Guide) to familiarize yourself with some of the fundamental differences between Gnucash and Quicken.

Good luck!
David

Subject: Quicken Files

I have been looking for a programme into which I can transfer my Quicken data that I have been using 16 years. I was delighted to come across GNUCASH that seemed to imply I can transfer the data into it. My Quicken has 4 types of file - Qdata1.QDF,  Qdata1.QEL, Qdata1.QPH and Qtada1.QSD but not a .QIF in sight. What can I do?
