I recently converted my Money data (I'd been using Money for over 5
years, and had a lot of data) to Quicken 2006, and I was pleasantly
surprised at how smoothly it went. It did lose the reconcile status on
accounts, as promised, but most things came over fine, including all my
custom spending and income categories.
Overall, it was worth the effort. I think Quicken is a significant
improvement -- particularly in handling on-line accounts. The
interface is different enough to take some getting used to, but I'm
liking it.
That said, I don't know why you're getting the error. I imagine you've
tried the obvious things like rebooting, ensuring that Quicken isn't
running and there's no Quicken file that could be open.
But the one other pleasant surprise I had was that the one time I
called tech support, I actually got through and got the help I needed.
(I've heard mostly bad things about Quicken tech support, but maybe
you'll get lucky as well.)
