You first need to
open your data with MS Money and export each of your accounts to
QIF files. The QIF files can then be imported into Moneydance.</p>

<p>There is a free version of Microsoft Money Plus Deluxe available
from Microsoft.</p>
<p>Do a Google / Bing search for 'microsoft money plus sunset' for
a link to the download site.</p>
<p>HTH -Kevin N.</p></div>-Kevin N.tag:infinitekind.tenderapp.com,2009-01-14:Comment/380545732015-09-29T13:53:58Z2015-09-29T13:53:58ZInstall MS Money (.mbf) files<div><p>Thanks for your help Kevin, I found that and am downloading it
already,<br>
hopefully that will work and enable me to switch to Moneydance.
I'm<br>
finding that Money doesn't work after changing to Windows 10 so
will run<br>
it on an earlier pc to get the files off.</p></div>Neil Batchelertag:infinitekind.tenderapp.com,2009-01-14:Comment/380545732015-09-29T13:59:14Z2015-09-29T13:59:14ZInstall MS Money (.mbf) files<div><p>Kevin,</p>
<p>One last question, Money has installed and when I go to export
the file<br>
it gives me two options, Loose QIF and Strict QIF - which is best
for<br>
Moneydance?</p>
<p>many thanks.</p></div>Neil Batchelertag:infinitekind.tenderapp.com,2009-01-14:Comment/380545732015-09-29T14:00:52Z2015-09-29T14:00:52ZInstall MS Money (.mbf) files<div><p>You should choose loose.</p>
