I don't know about any automatic conversion 'cause I didn't (couldn't
because of new computer) do it that way.
Files "backed up" on the old machine with Q'99, restored just fine on the
new machine with H&B '08.

Yes.

But you should consider that Intuit has a good reason for
pushing to have only one version installed at a time; there can
be problems, though they are mostly small glitches. I have four
Quicken versions installed on one pc.

Thanks John, I'll give it a try after I've backed up!

Warning.

I reinstalled my 2001 and now it keeps pestering me to register. But
Quicken won't recognize registering such an old product. So the
pestering will continue ad nausea.

I just experienced the "Quicken Executable has encountered a problem
and needs to close" error while making a backup using Quicken Basic
2001. Well both the hd version and backup version got trashed and
previous backup was hundreds of transactions old after spending 2 days
of year end catchup. After not finding much useful info on the web I
fell for the "new version will fix it line". Wrong. 2008 could not
read the 2001 corrupted file. It tried but bombed, vanished, just quit
without error. Repeatedly. So 2008 is going back for a refund.

I upgraded from Quicken2 to 2001 in 2001 because of the y2k problems
with scheduled transactions in Q2.

Warning to all about backups. Make backups daily. Use mulitple
backup media and cycle through them. So much for my great opinion of
Quicken being rock solid.

Thanks for 3 wasted days Quicken.

Follow up. quicken has a hack for disabling the registration
annoyance.
Instructions vary with version. See this page for info for most
versions:

There is a typo for the 2000 2001 2002 2003 It's the FINANCE menu,
not ONLINE menu.
hold left Shift & left CTRL and click on FINANCE menu, then ONE STEP
UPDATE.
