   Hi Frank,
   Check that the date format is the same in your data files. File > Preferences > General tab > Date Format.
   I don't think that 'Export' is the preferred way to transfer data from one system to another.
   Try just copying your data file from the pc to the mac. Burn it to a CD/DVD, copy it to a USB drive or simply email it to yourself and download it to the mac.
   The data file will have a .md file extention. e.g. Moneydance.md
