Importing Old Account Data

Just bought Classic for Mac to convert from Banktivity, and wanted to export separate annual accounts for credit card and checking accounts into Quicken for ease of use. Quicken customer service says you cannot import and add separate .qif accounts to the database: each new .qif import creates a new main database, which will not show simultaneously with other databases on the sidebar or permit analysis via reports. This seems insanely limited and dysfunctional.

    Support is correct that .qif is only allowed as a one-time event for users coming from other financial software. There are many reasons why .qif has been unsupported for many years, but that is beyond the scope of this thread.

    I haven't toyed around with Banktivity in many years, but is there not a way to export all your transactions into a single .qif? Or, are all these separate files you wish to combine? (I.e., you made separate files for each year which, in general, is never a good idea.)

    If you can combine all the files together in Bankativity and get them into a single .qif, that is about your only way of getting this done in a supported fashion.
