Dear all,

I have been scanning through the posts, but didn�t find anyone with the
same issue as I am experiencing.
If anyone can help, it is really appreciated.

Background:
I have used Quicken 2000 with Windows XP (32 bit) system for years and
without any troubles.
No real reason or need to upgrade to a higher version of Quicken until now.

My PC with XP died.
Went out and bought a new PC with Vista (64 bit).
Found out quickly that Q2000 would not install.
What a great time to upgrade Quicken, went out and got Quicken 2009.
Installed Quicken 2009 � all is fine.

My troubles started when trying to upgrade the quicken data from 2000 to
2009 � Impossible.
Tried exporting data from Quicken 2000 and importing it into Quicken 2009
� what a mess, the data is completely corrupted. Tried exporting /
importing account after account � no luck there neither.

Went to Quicken for help:
On their web site, and found that certain data features from older quicken
versions to today�s Quicken are not supported.

Can anyone help me to have Quicken 2009 accepting my Quicken 2000 data.

I hope to have given enough information, if not please do not hesitate to
ask.

With regards,
Lost Data

As far as I know the only thing to do is make sure all files of your old
data set (qdf, qel, qph, whatever) are /COPIED/ (you have backup copies,
right?) I repeat copied to the folder where your Q installation expects
the final files to be. Then double click on the qdf file. Quicken
should launch and offer to convert the data.

I think.

If this doesn't work, you might need to first get a copy of an older
version of Q, e.g. Q2004 or Q2005. But look at Quicken's website for
help ...

You suggesting that I, too, might have grief when I ditch my Q2002 and
upgrade? I was hoping to delay that for another year or so when SP1 for the
new Windows O/S is released.

I've heard before that if more than 3 or 4 years have passed Intuit doesn't
support them anymore. What people usually do in cases of older versions is
to update to an older copy of Quicken as an intermediate stepping stone to
the current version. Like in your case get a copy of Q2005, convert your
data file to that version, then get Q2009 or Q2010 and then convert to that.
