from Quicken Extensions
any future possibility of deleting Categories which are never again used. My QE has hundreds of un- (never again) used Categories which are clogging my hard drive. That is why I am looking at Moneydance.

Deleting a category that has been used would delete any transactions that used that category. However you can mark a category in Moneydance as "inactive". When you do this that category will not be shown in the various list of categories for selection.

Thanks for your quick reply, Ben. Another question is: Can you think of an easier way to import my Quicken Essentials data into MD? Been trying for many hours without success. - Again, thanks.

Moneydance should be able to import Quicken Essentials data file directly. Run Moneydance, if you don't see the welcome screen select from the menu bar Window->Welcome to Moneydance...
There click the "Migrate from Quicken Essentials" button. That will bring up a file browser. Browse to and select your .quickendata file and click the "open" button. That should be it.

Whow, Ben; that's the easiest import/export I have ever seen. I also found where I made my previous mistakes. Hate to see you having to work on a weekend but believe me, I do appreciate it.
Thanks again,
Hans

Hope you are having a good weekend, Ben. I was just about to place my order for MD when I spotted a strange listing. It's the REMINDERS list. It is showing several years worth of overdue (in red) dates and amounts. Most have double and triple amounts and dates. I just spent about two hours trying to delete them; incl. the same in the yellow calendar. No luck! In the Manual it advises to see (Find and Replace) in form of a blue link. Hate to say it, but the link is NOT working. Help files are not helping either. In closing let me mention that I am using an Apple with 16 gig of memory and tons of hard drive space. OS X is El Capitan. - Hope you find the time again to reply to my jibberish. - Thanks - Hans

I would try editing each reminder's First (Start) date. Tools>Reminders> Then Select each reminder, click on "Edit" (Or simply double-click each reminder from the Reminder List). You can enter the Reminder "First date" there to the next (current) Calendar date. I believe that this would get rid of the Overdue Reminders.
Good Luck,
Tony
