I am about to take "the plunge" and convert from MSMoney to Quicken Home & Business... after reading several posts and information from Intuit, I have a couple of questions for the other MSMoney->Quicken users...

1) When you ran Quicken for the first time, did you select "I am a Microsoft Money user" and convert via that process OR did you start from scratch, create a empty file and import your MNY file?

2) If you had to do it again, would you convert the same way?

Regards, Mike

I think it really depends on how much junk you have in your old file. I did the migration route, then cleaned out mightily, deleting everything in each account, and reduced the accounts to what was actually still functional. Never did de-install money, so I can always go back to those data, but I wanted Quicken to be as clean as possible.

I had to convert a client's MS money file to Quicken last year. I just followed the instructions here:
