The title of this thread is Quicken on Linux, if Quicken won't work properly on Linux (and WINE and Crossover Office say it will not) and you can't import files into GnuCash or MoneyDance you really are suggesting scrapping the old, aren't you? Of course, you could easily keep a copy of Windows on a separate partition but then why fool with Linux? -- XS11E, Killing all posts from Google Groups The Usenet Improvement Project: http://twovoyagers.com/improve-usenet.org/

Sorry. Somewhere along the way, I got the impression you were running Windows.

I am and that's because Quicken won't work properly on Linux. -- XS11E, Killing all posts from Google Groups The Usenet Improvement Project: http://twovoyagers.com/improve-usenet.org/

YMMV, but at least some Quicken versions run. Codeweavers rates some Quicken releases under CrossOver Linux as bronze, some as silver, with the overall assessment as bronze (which indeed carries a lot of warnings). So I'd say it's not that winehq and crossover say Quicken won't work - but rather that, depending on version, it may work. I myself run Q2007 H&B under wine 1.1.38. The basics all work. I haven't tried the transaction and investment download functions, which I suspect could indeed be more problematic. -- Rob Lindauer - for my real email, change "att" to "sbc"

The latest Platinum that's *fully* tested is 2006. Back to my original assertion, it doesn't run properly, 3 year old versions are problematical. > I myself run Q2007 H&B under wine 1.1.38.

It shows as not tested, probably be worth a try to let the WINE people know. -- XS11E, Killing all posts from Google Groups The Usenet Improvement Project: http://twovoyagers.com/improve-usenet.org/
