So everything imported from Money into Quicken o.k. However my CU
where my checking account resides offers only QIF or CSV downloads and
does not offer direct connection. Quicken will not take QIF downloads
(Money did just fine, it had to ask me which account to put the
transactions in each time, but always did fine). Do I have any options
for using Quicken to keep track of this checking account (which has 15
years of data)?

I've never done this, but there is an import feature on the File menu.
File: Import: QIF. Chances are this will work for you. I'm using Q2010
R7.

I just saw that Quicken doesn't take QIF imports to checking accounts. If
you had this in Microsoft Money, you should be able to import it into
Quicken.

The CU should probably change to OFX or QFX to be up to date.

Here's more info:

I knew it couldn't import QIF files into checking (tried that) Yes,
it's in Quicken as of the date I converted my Money file, but I can't
update it in Quicken short of entering stuff manually which I haven't
had to do for 15 years.

I agree. WIll talk to them tomorrow. It's hard to see how it can't
have been an issue with other CU members. I did see they are
proposing a merger with a CU that is in the Quicken list of
instiutions. Probably incentive for them not to waste any programming
manpower in the interim.

This is a five year old problem that's been discussed here a number of
times. Here's a nice summary of some workarounds:

ds_for_Quicken_2005.2B:_importing_from_QIF

Hope this helps.
