Even with Quicken support, I am unable to open any 2007 files in 2016. When I try to convert the file with the entire "new", "from 2007", the conversion gets to a certain port and then says "cannot import the file". Can anyone give me any insights? I've rebooted, reinstalled, tried backup files, and Quicken support can't help.

Don't know what support directed you to try and not saying that the following will help but have you tried re-indexing your data file before migrating?

I was having the same problem trying to convert Mac 2007 to Mac 2017. I kept getting an error message. I finally went to my 2007 Quicken and did a "save a copy." It will ask you what dates you would like to save. Mine started in 10/31/96. Then I reinstalled Quicken 2017 and used that "saved copy" to importing into Quicken 2017. It took a while, but it worked! Good luck0

Hi Maryshka. Just a thought to consider...
You could also do a Backup to Disk (File > Backup to Disk) and save the complete .QDFM file onto your Desktop or Documents folder. Then I would go in and try importing this file into 2017. You would be able to have everything except for just a date period.
Just my two cents.

@Quicken Harold Quicken 2007 Backup simply makes a copy of the data file, where Save a Copy rewrites the data file record by record, which clears up some file corruption problems that a simple backup will not. They're two different things.Quicken Mac Subscription • Quicken user since 19930
