quicken data converter error message

Has anybody have any luck using the quicken data converter for converting files from ms money? After following the steps to generate reports, clicking the import into quicken button, gives an error message - The data converted has found an open quicken data file. Close quicken and try again.

Quicken is not running in the background, so I don't understand what could be causing this error message. Anybody seen this error message? Any workarounds?

The data converter is available at

I recently converted my Money data (I'd been using Money for over 5 years, and had a lot of data) to Quicken 2006, and I was pleasantly surprised at how smoothly it went. It did lose the reconcile status on accounts, as promised, but most things came over fine, including all my custom spending and income categories.

Overall, it was worth the effort. I think Quicken is a significant improvement -- particularly in handling on-line accounts. The interface is different enough to take some getting used to, but I'm liking it.

That said, I don't know why you're getting the error. I imagine you've tried the obvious things like rebooting, ensuring that Quicken isn't running and there's no Quicken file that could be open.

But the one other pleasant surprise I had was that the one time I called tech support, I actually got through and got the help I needed. (I've heard mostly bad things about Quicken tech support, but maybe you'll get lucky as well.)
