Importing information from Quicken

[johnfaye]

I was able to export a QIF file from Quicken, but it only includes the
checking account that I have in Quicken and not my other accounts. I cannot
get it to export the other accounts. The Quicken backup files that Quicken
uses are QDF files and they are much larger than the QIF file that I
exported. When I go to export files from Quicken, it gives two options: QIF
file; and "Quicken Transfer Format (.QXF) Files." (Yes, it does say QXF, not
QFX.) I tried that a little, but do not think it helped. I will look into it
further.

Also, my Quicken support expires on April 30th. If I use GNUCash, I hope I
will be able to download information for all my accounts from the web.

I would appreciate any suggestions you have.

John

To generate the QIF files you have to use the Export function in
Quicken if I remember correctly.
