How to import 2007 to 2017 on Catalina?

VincentTPackhorse

I'm running Catalina on my iMac. I have a Quicken 2007 file which I would like to import to Quicken 2017. I cannot open the file using Quicken 2007 to re-index or otherwise massage the data. Quicken 2007 won't work with Catalina.

So many other applications will update files with little or no effort. When I try to import the 2007 file, Quicken 2017 begins the process and then immediately quits.

Am I out of luck? This is very frustrating.

It might not be that your file is bad.

You can't run 2007 under Catalina anymore as the latter no longer runs 32 bit applications. This you likely know. The problem here is that the convertor for QMac '15-'19 is really a special copy of 2007 that runs behind the scenes-and that won't run under Catalina as well. I see the same initial attempt to import and application crash with 2017 and a perfectly healthy 2007 file.

The latest version of QMac 2020 (5.13.x) now does all conversions via Quicken Connected Services as a workaround. But, you don't have that.

Since 2017 is still supported by Quicken, I would contact them for assistance as only they can do the conversion if you don't have a pre Catalina machine available. Your file may be perfectly fine otherwise.

Thanks, John.

Update to others who might be reading this: 2017 has now been updated to 4.8.6 so that it supports Cloud conversions for 2007/Win users running Catalina.

Thanks to @VincentTPackhorse so that an update was pushed out!
