 Hi,

I have been a long time user of Quicken softwrae. I am now considering
upgrading to 2006 version or later (finally). I have got a lot of data
that I will need to transfer to the new verison. 2001 verison has
been end of life'd by Intuit. Does anyone know if I can transfer my
data to the later version from the 2001 version? Any other issues that
I need to be aware of?

Thanks.

Prabhat

 Quicken is very good at converting old data. I moved from 2001 to 2006 without
any problems.

If you're wanting to extend the life of Quicken as long as possible, you would
be better off to convert to 2007. That way you get an extra year of downloads
and online access. However, if you don't use those features, why upgrade at all?

Hi Fred,

Thanks for your comments. You ask a fair question as to why upgrade.
Well, I have noticed in the last year that every once in a while Q2001
makes a mistake while balancing my checkbook against the bank
statement. I think it is bug and it wont be fixed any more. Hence
thinking of upgrading to not have to deal with it.

The decision to upgrade is yours, but I'm skeptical it will solve your problem.
I've been monitoring this newsgroup for years, and have never seen a bug
reported when balancing your checkbook. All errors encountered were data entry,
not Quicken bugs.

Since Intuit cutoff interactive downloading of financial information
into Quicken 2001 a while ago I assume you don't nee that. Are you
still importing QIF files? If so you don't want to upgrade as you
will lose the ability to import QIF files.
