Quicken Backup/files to QuickBooks?

Hi,

I am running Quicken 2001 Deluxe, and did a backup which I sent to my accountant. He says that he tried importing my files into "15 different versions" of QuickBooks, and it (1) gave him an error and (2) deleted my files!

Is there any way that he can import my backup files into QuickBooks? Or, if that's not possible, is there any way to get my Quicken files to him?

Thanks in advance, Jim

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:

1) the "canned" (pre-defined, came with Quicken) Income & Expense report 2) the canned Net Worth report 3) a "Transactions subtotaled by category" report (this one might be BIG).

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

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...

Jim
