proprietary format and has also been known to have been changed
over time.</p>
<p>It is necessary to export the data from Quicken, historically
QIF format files have been used to migrate the raw transactions
between products. This is because this is one of the few universal
formats that is suitable for financial data.</p></div>dwgtag:infinitekind.tenderapp.com,2009-01-14:Comment/390748642016-02-03T10:14:03Z2016-02-03T10:14:03ZImport Quicken files<div><p>Hi Tom,</p>
<p>If you're exporting your data from Quicken, we'd always
recommend exporting as a QIF file, as Des has explained. You can
follow the instructions in <a href="http://help.infinitekind.com/kb/importing-data-from-banks-and-other-programs/importing-data-from-quicken-in-qif-format">
this article</a> which details how to export as a QIF file and
import to Moneydance.</p>
<p>If this export format is not possible, please let me know which
format options are available to you.</p>
<p>If you haven't already, I encourage you to download our free
trial version and experiment with the program before you decide if
you would like to purchase it. The demo version is fully functional
and allows you to manually enter 100 transactions.</p>
<p>Imported transactions are not limited, so you'll be able to
fully test importing your data.<br>
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 download the trial
version of Moneydance from here - <a href="http://infinitekind.com/downloads">http://infinitekind.com/downloads</a></p>

exported my quicken file as a qif file. I was able to import them
into Money with a few minor problems. Thanks for now and I am sure
I will have some questions moving forward.<br>
Best Regards,<br>
