Will Quicken allow me to import from another programme?

Hi - probably a very basic question, but will I be able to import the data I have from another programme? DoesQuicken allow a CSV import. I have data going back to 2001 (originally in MS Money... what a wonderful programme that was), and recently in a UK programme called Jiosoft that simply can't seem to offer decent analysis/reporting - so it is time to move on. Quicken seems to be top of the pops in terms of reviews, but will it take a large import??

No, Quicken is only supported in the US and Canada though there are some UK users that manage to use Quicken in Manual Mode. You can get a free copy of Quicken 2013 from https://assistant.quicken.com/patch/ASDES5672FR13/Old_Products/QWIN/QW2013DLX.exe and the free ImportQIF (also supports CSV) from QuicknPerlWiz - Use ImportQIF to import transactions into Quicken.

To add to what @Greg_the_Geek stated:  Quicken cannot import CSV files.  That being said, some CSV, Excel and OFX files might be able to be manually imported but they will first need to be converted into a compatible QIF formatted file.  The ImportQIF program referenced by him was developed by a longtime Quicken user and very active participant in this Community forum.  I have not used it myself but there are quite a few who have posted in the Community forum that it is pretty easy to use and it works well.

I should say I'm in the UK.... it looks from other discussions as if this may mean I have to look for another solution... is Quicken supported for UK use?

MS did release a free version of MS Money called MS Money Plus Sunset for whomever wanted to continue using it once MS discontinued support for MS Money.  But is does not have any online services and MS will not provide any support for it so it is truly a Use-As-Is situation.  In fact, I think MS doesn't even allow downloads of it from their website anymore.  But it looks like it can still be downloaded from CNET ( https://download.cnet.com/Microsoft-Money-Plus-Sunset-Deluxe/3000-2057_4-77545178.html) and from Softpaz (https://www.softpaz.com/software/download-microsoft-money-plus-sunset-home-business-windows-31830.htm ).
