<p>Well, I'm sorry to hear you've had such a frustrating experience with Q2010, and I hope we can make your experience with Moneydance a positive one. Moneydance can absolutely import your transactions. It cannot, however, read .QDF files (which are Quicken's proprietary file format). You will first need to export your information from Quicken in a .qif file. We have a step-by-step guide for transitioning from Quicken to Moneydance, which can be found <a href="http://help.infinitekind.com/faqs/frequently-asked-questions-2/how-can-i-transfer-my-data-from-quicken-into-moneydance">here</a>.<br />
</p>
<p>I encourage you to download our free trial version and experiment with the program before your decide if you would like to purchase it. The demo version is fully-functional and allows you to manually enter 100 transactions. Imported transactions are not limited. If you decide to purchase the program at a later date you can keep all your data, the license key simply unlocks the ability to manually enter more transactions. You can find more information on how to get the most out of your trial period, check out our <a href="http://moneydance.com/blog/archives/77">blog post on the subject</a>.</p>
<p>Moneydance can also import transactions from your bank, as well as permitting direct connections to many banks. You can also find more information about these functions in the Moneydance 2010 user guide, which is located <a href="http://moneydance.com/userguide2010">here</a>.<br />

<p>Please let me know if I can be of further assistance,</p>
