 Hi All

I have recently read a lot of UK posts about Quicken not being available now
in the UK.

The answer for me was to purchase Quicken 2007 Basic in the USA. It can also
be purchased via a download both for about £15.00 or $30.00

Below is from an earlier posting I did.

Yes the Quicken 2007 Basic ver from the USA works perfectly here, and
converts the data file I have been running from 1998 perfectly.

Prior to getting this software I emailed Intuit and they told me it would
work fine except for connection to the banks - this will not work in the UK

Apart from this every thing works PERFECTLY. The version I bought was Ver 2
and you need to download the update patch to take it to version 4.

It is a mulit-currency version with most currencies in the world being
supported, and a bit of setting up is needed on this front to get to the
PERFECT I described above.

I hope this helps the UK users who feel left on the shelf with an older
version that needs upgrading.

Very interesting to me, thanks for that information.

Mike your experience is most fortunate, I was going to try it myself but
see the Quicken forum discussion on
http://www.quickencommunity.com/webx?13@@.efc9a56/14
and see why. There appears to be a lot of doubt that the US version can
convert the Quicken UK files for say updating Quicken 2000.

Can you give some more details re the file conversion from an older
version of UK Quicken to US Quicken v.4, this is what most long term users
would like to do so that they can retain all the accumulated data from say
1998 or 2000.

Hi Brian

My Quicken was originally purchased in 98 (Quicken98) and was updated by
Quicken for the year 2000 compatibility. I do not do year ends as I want all
my data available to do comparisons etc.

When I installed Quicken 2007 which was bought in America (Orlando), it
first said it had to remove the old version of Quicken (98), then it
installed itself.

I then imported my "data", the program told me it had to convert it to the
new format which it did effortlessly, informing me all the way as it did it,
and then worked perfectly except the amounts were in $ not £. I then went
into options and selected multicurrency, did a few tweaks and it works
perfectly as if it was a UK version. I then did an online update as my disk
was ver 2 and it updated to ver 4.

So easy no problems. I know this sound so easy, and I have seen the posts
your link goes to but I can only tell you about my experience - I hope it
help you.

Mike
