Quicken 2000

Unknown

I have used Quicken 2000 since - well 2000.  I have finally updated to 2018, but my data files won't open.  I am told that I should first convert it to 2007, but have no luck locating 2007.  Any suggestions?

Above link is for QWin. This thread is for QMac...  ;-)

While you marked this as Quicken for Mac, you still left out a lot of details. You are likely going to need more than a copy of 2007. Note: there are two flavors of the former: One ('Lion Compatible" 16.1.x) definitely won't work. The older PPC based on (16.0.x) might work, but is harder to find.

There are a few stair step versions you would ideally need to get 2000 moved forward. At an ideal bare minimum, you would need QMac 2005, and an older MacOS X based machine that will run it. You didn't mention if the old machine you have running 2000 is capable of running OS X as well. And from there, you would want to go to 2007 (either version mentioned above will work)

Considering all the hoops you have to jump through-and that is dependent if you can acquire the older versions or hardware to run them on, you might wish to cut your loses and start a new file in 2018. Waiting 20 years to upgrade puts a lot to chance.

When the ORIGINAL post appeared, it wasn't tagged for Windows OR Mac. 

So...I guessed. Apparently wrong.

You will need intermediary versions to accomplish this but they may be hard to come by. You will need QM2005, QM2006 or QM2007 (non-LC version v16.0.x, NOT v16.1.x or higher), though you may still be able to find this last one around on ebay or the like. AND you will need to have access to Mac OS 10.6.8 or older to run these versions.

Once there, QM2018 should be able to read the data file. Let us know how it goes finding an old copy.
