Hi,
I'm trying to import a Quicken 2007 data file into Quicken 2019 (Mac, Premier, V5.12.3). I go to "File->New" and select "Start from a Quicken for Mac 2007 file". I no longer have Quicken 2007 so am not able to open the file to do any updates as the screen suggests. The file was last touched in 2007 and was up to date at the time.
The first time I tried the import I got a "Cannot import due to errors in the data file" (or something like that, sorry, didn't save it). No other information was provided. Undaunted, I quit Quicken, relaunched, and tried again. The second time, it crashed. The third time, it gets through the first screen, asks me about mobile setup, I said No, and hit next, and I get an error, "Data files from Quicken 2004 and earlier are not supported. Open your file in Quicken 2007 first."
I could be wrong but I believe this is a Quicken 2007 file. Info on the Mac says "Quicken 2007 Data".
Suggestions on where to go from here would be welcome. I don't need to manipulate the data, don't care if categories etc. are wrong, all I need to do is look at the registers in a couple of checking and credit card accounts. I'd try opening it in Q2007 first, if I can get a copy from somewhere. I'm also a unix/linux geek so I don't mind command line stuff if that'll get me anywhere.
Thanks!
Henry
