Hi, I have years (and years) of expense and deposit records currently stored in the Quicken file. I checked out the Quicken on line app and it doesn't work for me for a variety of reasons. My "computer guy" recommended Moneydance, and it looks perfect. Without a moment's hesitation, I became your customer.

My challenge now is seeing if I can import the "old" quicken data. I zipped the Quicken file, and get this (see attachment) when I try to import. What can we do?

    I'm a fellow user.

    Quicken stores its data in proprietary .QDF files, no other application can read these files.

    It is necessary to use Quicken to export the raw transaction data into one(preferably) or more QIF files. These files can be imported by other applications.
