SUMMARY
=======
 
Money 5.0 allows you to convert Quicken data files directly. Quicken data
files consist of more than one actual file. If you try to convert a Quicken
data file, and do not have all of the rerquired files, you receive the
following error message:
 
   Your Quicken data is contained in in several different files, and Money
   could not find all of them, or you are trying to import from an
   unsupported version of Quicken. Money can import from Quicken for
   Windows version 3.0 and later.
 
   Please check your Quicken version number and make sure all of your
   database files are in the same directory. (The database files have the
   same name as your Quicken file but have different extensions.)
 
NOTE: Money cannot convert Quicken 6.0 files. Quicken 6.0 was
released after Money 5.0, therefore the converter in Money 5.0 is unable to
convert the new Quicken file format. For additional information, please see
the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
