 Am I hoping for too much? Any chance they are compatible?

Give it a try but if you have problems remember it's not supported by
MSFT, no version of Quicken has earned the Certified or Works With
label from Microsoft although Intuit says Quicken 2005, 2006 and 2007
works with Vista and 2007 does work well for me on Vista Ultimate 64.

Who knows what 2002 will do but it can't hurt to find out and PLEASE
come back here and tell us how it worked for you, OK?

Microsoft says no, but I've read reports from those who say they are
using the combination successfully.

On the other hand, your version is five years old. You can buy a copy
of Quicken 2007 Basic for only $30 or so. If it were me, I'd just buy
it, rather than worry about any possible lack of compatibility, with
the attendant risk that, even if runs now, it may suddenly scramble
all your financial data one day.

What is the science behind that statement, i.e. that it may suddenly
scramble all your financial data one day?

Science? My point is simply that if Microsoft says that Quicken 2000
is not compatible with Vista, there is *some* risk that problems you
don't see today may surface on some day in the future. I don't know
whether those problems will ever occur, or of they do, what the effect
of those problems might be. But worst case, those problems *might* be
as bad as scrambling your data.

*I* think it's worth spending $30 to avoid any such risk. But it's
your choice.
