I am using Quicken Deluxe 2015. The data extension is QDF. Moneydance does not recognize this file extension. Any suggestion?

    To transfer data from Quicken you need to export a QIF file, you can't import Quicken files directly. See the set of articles relating to this topic at http://help.infinitekind.com/kb/importing-data-from-other-programs

    When you follow the steps in the article above make sure you follow the steps accurately, in particular, make sure you specify to Import into a new account rather than an existing account. Also make sure you set the source to "From another program".
    It is highly recommended to export all data into a single QIF file, as doing so makes the import process much smoother. Please use the option in Quicken to export "all accounts" if available.
    Quicken does not always export the initial balance for each account. After importing into Moneydance, highlight an account, click on ACCOUNT – EDIT ACCOUNT and set an “Initial Balance”. Do this for each account.

    For general information see http://help.infinitekind.com/kb

    If you have specific issues give as much detail as you can and support or others will answer your questions.

    Hope this helps.

    Thanks for your response. My Quicken data file extension is QDF not QIF

    QDF file is a propriety Quicken file and can not be read by any other software.
    However as far as I know all Quicken version provide the ability to export QIF file that Moneydance can import.

    Hope this helps.

    I never used Export. Learned something new. It worked. Thank you.
