Quicken Mac to Quicken PC

I'm sure it's too late...

About six months ago I had to switch to PC from Mac.

I tried to import my Mac data, but when doing so, all dates reverted to (if my memory serves me correctly) 1900's.

So, reluctlantly, I deleted all entries prior to 2005 and re-dated only 2005 entries.

Now I'd like to import all those entries from 2004 and prior... but I don't want to have to redate each entry going back several years. Much too much time for its relative value.

I suspect I'm toast... any great ideas out there?

On the Mac side, I believe its 2002... on the PC side its 2006 on an XP Pro machine.

Tia for your good ideas. I'm all ears!

I presume you are saying you saved one or more QIF files from the older version, and that in those files are some older transactions you would like to recover.

You may have two choices: fix the date formatting in the QIF file(s) with a word processor that does find/replace; or get the free Excel macro "xl2qif" (Google), import the QIF file(s) into Excel using the macro, have Excel format the dates, then have "xl2qif" output the results to a new QIF file, then import that to Quicken.
