Thanks to all

Edward I didn't have a lot of luck getting the trial version of Quicken to
run. It installed fine but when I tried to open my old UK Quicken 2004 file
I got an error message saying that European Files were incompatible with
this version of Quicken, which I guess was the source of the warning I was
given? Realizing I could do a QIF export/import from old to new version I
tried to start a new quicken file. I floundered again as the programme
(trial) insisted on a registration before I could use it and would only
function If I entered a US address and more importantly Zip code so I gave
up.

Can you help as I would love to get this working!

Stephen

You can look up zip codes here:

http://zip4.usps.com/zip4/welcome.jsp

Live where ever you like: pick a city and state; like Bentonville, AR
Chicago, IL or Lodi, CA and a street like Main Street.

Or skip registration altogether. Hold down CTRL+SHIFT while clicking One
Step Update (in the Online menu).

John

Thanks

I suppose a workaround would be for me to move to the US!

Its astonishing that Quicken and now MS Money have abandoned the UK market.
Perhaps they realize all the brits are broke. I dont know what the
alternative is, I have been using Quicken for about 15 years, now i'm told
the most recent uk version (2004) wont run on Windows 7 which I am about to
migrate to,

Cheers

Had the same problem but I did as John suggested or at least something
similar, that is entered my UK address and a 'dummy' ZIP code (10001 I
think). I have been using the 2009 version for a year or so now
without a problem.

Incidentally I 'updated' from the 1999 version without problems,
whether or not the 2010 version would allow updating data, rather
conversion, from yoiur earlier versions I couldn't say but I suspect
it will but there is no going back, so back up before you try.

Stephen, I too had a similar problem a few months ago. I ended up
buying the Australian version of Quicken 2009 and it was able to
convert my Quicken UK data file without any problems.

Obviously the online functions are useless and I can't download
statements and all that from my bank, but I'm in Africa so Quicken has
never offered that option. And like a silly idiot, I keep paying for
upgrades...
