Quicken Backup/files to QuickBooks?

P.S. My Quicken version says "Release R3". Also, if my post should go to the QuickBooks newsgroup, please let me know.

Thanks, Jim

As a shot, are the years of BOTH Quicken and Quickbooks he tried the same? Read the thread:

All he said is that he tried "15" versions. I'll have to ask if he tried QB 2001 or 2002 among those.

Thanks, Jim

Your best bet is probably to just send him whatever Quicken reports he needs. I would think that the following would suffice:

Unlike Quickbooks, Quicken doesn't have an "Accountant's Copy" feature, wherein he could make adjusting entries and send them back to you

Dan,

I have a copy of Quicken 2005 that should be arriving, hopefully in a few days. According to my accountant, he thinks he should be able to import files from Quicken 2005. So, I was wondering, will I be able to import the files from my Quicken 2001 into Quicken 2005, then if I backup the Quicken 2005 files, will he then be able to use those (2005) files?

Thanks, Jim

I stand corrected. The following is from quickbooks.com:

Q: Can I import my data from Quicken®? A: Yes, you can with QuickBooks: Pro, Premier and Enterprise Solutions. You can directly convert data from Quicken and Quicken Home and Business Editions '98 through 2006 (older editions require some additional steps). QuickBooks provides detailed step-by-step instructions for the entire conversion process.

Hi,

I spoke to him yesterday (tough thing to do at this time of the year :)!), and he apparently has the latest QB. He clarified that when he said "15" version, he tried Pro, Premier, etc. but for the same year.

I think that he just might now know HOW to do the import, or doesn't want to bother at this time of year. I'll try the Quicken 2005 thing, and see if that makes it easier. Other than than, it's printout time, because I'm not going to go buy new versions of Quicken just for a once-a-year event...
