I currently use Ace Money. Does Moneydance have a solution to convert my entire Ace Money database into a useable Moneydance file? I have been using a personal finance software since the mid-1990's and have over 100 accounts. I really do NOT want to export each acount individually to a cvs file.

    Doesn't look good. AceMoney will create a QIF file, and non-investment accounts seem to be ok, but investment accounts, not so much.

    Also, noting your number of accounts, AceMoney will only export one account at a time (to QIF or CSV I guess)

    You may have already seen this, but here was the result for another.

    That's what I thought, I'm screwed to stick with Ace Money until someone
    comes up with a way to convert their amj database into something usable.
    Thanks any way.

    I would not be holding my breath waiting for anyone to come up with a way to convert any finance database to anything else, they are all proprietary and if it has not happened with Quicken it is not likely to occur with any other format.

    Really there is no great opportunity for a developer, such programs are a good example of use one programs, you only need to use it once, never need to upgrade it or buy a new version and it finance programs are a niche market with plenty of player so quite fragmented so such converter software would have a very limited market.
