Money imports?

My new laptop came with Quicken 2006 New User. I have been a longtime MS Money user, but don't like their move to required use of the Passport (now called Microsoft or Windows Live, I believe). I thought I would give Quicken a try. I downloaded and installed the Quicken Data Converter, but only want to transfer my investment activities (I will do my checkbook, etc. manually). When I fired up Data Converter it appears that it is "all or nothing", so I did not proceed. My question is, can I import (convert) ONLY my investment portfolio, or will it automatically import my checking and savings accounts also. Thanks in advance.

I can't answer your question directly, never having converted from Money.

But I can't see where there could be a problem; you can just delete any accounts you don't want following the conversion.

(Depending on how Money handled transfers between accounts, you might want to do something about transfers in Quicken before you delete accounts ... but, I still don't see any problem.)

Why not do it and then delete the checking & savings accounts?

I'm sorry for following up here, but I'm also a long time Money user. I'm only here b/c I want to see what probs that Q users have while I consider my own transition from Money.

Money 2007 does *NOT* require you to use a windows liveid/passport/whatever they call it. I don't know how or why this rumor got started. It appears to be perpetuated through the many reviews of Money that I've seen. But it's just not true. I'm using Money 07 without one and succesfully downloading transactions and making electronic bill payments, etc. So is everyone else over in microsoft.public.money.

My complaints with Money are many, but they do not include this.

6 The short answer is that if you're using Money 06 without a passport, you don't need one for Money 07.

(Going back to lurker mode now. Sorry to intrude.)
