thinking of changing from MS Money Scott 01-29-2008

 Buyer beware:

You cannot convert Microsoft Money data to Quicken 2008. Only after buying
Quicken and blowing a Sunday afternoon trying to follow Intuit's arcane
instructions and digging through the help system--which mostly linked back
to the instructions that do not work, I finally found the following Intuit
admission that the advertised conver does not work.

Intuit's admission is old, and not quite accurate; here is more
recent information that indicates that you didn't do your
homework.

You found an FAQ that said it doesn't work, but did you see this
FAQ?

According to that one it works with Quicken 2008.

That was where I started. I followed the instructions faithfully, but the
converter errors. that was what led me to the FAQ that said it was a known
problem that the converter doesn't convert any MS money 2003+ to quicken
2008

thanks for trying.

didn't do my homework? I searched the site, using their search tool, I
believed their posted message that Intuit had no good answer. Gee, I feel
stupid now.

I really should have known that Paranoid Mike's blog was a trusted Intuit
resource, and manually installing separate DLLs is a normal user requirement

Thanks for pointing out the blog however. I did see it Sunday, but didn't
think it could be my best resource. On monday wheh I got back to it, there
seemed (to a mere mortal user) to be no longer a reference to the post I saw
Sunday.
