Quicken utility for importing MS Money Data - Anyone get it to work????

I'm a casual MS Money 2002 user and I've just bought an Australian version of Quicken 2006 Personal Plus for local conditions.

I'm now kicking myself I never tried the trial version because it seems awfully difficult to import my old MS Money data.

I saw mention of a conversion utility on Quicken's US site which I tracked it down at

Has anyone got this conversion utility to work?

I don't understand why it doesn't find qwwin.dll (Iinstalled into the default folder). Is there differences in the Australian and US fersions of quicken (apart from localised issues like bank names etc)??

Is there any other way to import the the MS Money 2002 data??

I know one thing, if this problem goes on much longer I'll be getting pretty cranky.

Would really appreciate some help!!!

Long shot: Are you using Windows XP? Are you running with admin rights? If not, try that. Also make sure Quicken is not open when you attempt the import.

I believe there are basic differences, and my guess would be that the Money conversion utility is not intended to work with non-US versions of Quicken.

By the way, is your Money2002 a US version of Money?

If the Australian Quicken can import QIF files, then yes, there is another way to import Money data. Export Money data to QIF file(s), then import to Quicken. But I know nothing about non-US versions of Quicken, so I can't really help with the details ... QIF file importing can be messy.

Yes

Yes

It wasn't but the import process seem to try to run Quicken and that is when it says it can't find the dll that is there.

Yes

The Aus version can import QIF files.

Could you outline the proces to follow this method??

What QIF files do I export from Money???

Thanks

The best information on creating new Quicken files using QIF export/import can be found in the MSN Quicken Users Group in the FAQ on merging Quicken files. While you are not planning on "merging", the info in that faq covers almost everything you would want to know. If you get to the point that you have very specific questions, post back: I - or someone here - may be able to help. You will want to know that starting with Q2005 US, there are restrictions on importing QIF files; those restrictions basically just add a small amount of additional work to the process; there is a post on the subject by me (look for "jepollard") in the Intuit Quicken forums in the Other Topics forum ... titled "How to Import QIF Files to Non-cash Accounts, post Q2004"

Many thanks John
