Moving From Quicken to QB

Q:

Subject: purchase

It looks like the basic (simple start) Quickbooks no longer imports Quicken data at all? Must use a Pro version or above? Is this correct?

Any suggestions?

Thanks

A:

As I wrote previously, the QB Simple Start program is a crippled version of QB and is to be avoided.

As I also wrote earlier, starting with the 2006 program, the Basic version has been dropped, so Pro is the lowest price version you can buy.

Depending on which version of Quicken you are converting from, you might be able to get by with an inexpensive version of QB from before 2006, which are widely available on eBay. The QB program has to be equal or newer than the version of Quicken the data is from.  For example, if you are using Quicken 2004, its data can be imported into QB 2004, 2005 or 2006.  If you are using Quicken 2006, you will have to have QB 2006.

Good luck.  I hope this helps.
