So I seem to be stuck with Quicken, which has started mismatching more downloaded transactions than it used to, and doesn’t provide a simple way of backtracking on simple user errors.:mad: Same goes for Accountz, a UK package I looked at when it first appeared, but I didn’t feel like being a test installation. I’ve looked at both GnuCash and jGnash some years ago, couldn’t get to like either of them at the time. It does, however, make searching of past transactions a bit more flexible, if in a rather ill-designed language. I have diligently extracted transaction from time to time and put them in a MySQL database, but that doesn’t seem to reduce them as much as you might expect. I sometimes feel a twinge of anxiety at the size of the data files: I seem to remember Quicken complaining about space, but can’t remember how I got past that.

I daren’t think what would happen if I tried any later OS – I haven’t tried it on my Vista laptop. This has enabled me continue using Quicken 2000 (under WinXP SP3), in a fairly simple-minded way to this day. At that point I learned my first programming since APL in about 1980, and found out enough about Python to write a little program to change the format of credit card transactions. Users from that time may remember that the original Quicken had its debits & credits the wrong way round, and I was faced with a problem.

This had an interesting consequence in 2007, when my bank ceased to provide downloadable transaction files (OFX) in Quicken 2000 format. So Quicken 2001 is still on the shelf and I’m still using Quicken 2000.

I upgraded Quicken occasionally, when it seemed a good idea, but boggled when Quicken 2001 required one to update every year, at who knows what cost. If it works I shall certainly let you know.Īlthough I don’t have records of precisely when I converted from the over user-friendly Microsoft Money, I have records of all my financial transactions since 1994, but I’m not sure how many were converted from Money. You suggestion seems to have some merit but I have not had time to try it. I have copied the data from the thumb drive to various places on two different HDs and that didn’t work either. It only looked at the data in the Quicken folder on my HD. In any case I was not so stupid as to let Q2010 loose on my secure backed up files. Quicken 2010 did not convert any files as it rejected them as ‘foreign’ files. I could not try to Move the files as the files on the thumb drive were my only set I added the Quicken folder on my HD to the SendTo menu and tried that as an alternative way of transferring the files. In my post I said “I had tried copying the files back to the hard disk” so, of course, I was using a file manager. You seem to have missed the point that I have been using this program since 2004 and it has never had problems opening, backing up or restoring files until now. There is no way to incorporate the others. Yes, Quicken 2004 does have numerous files with different extensions but when you click on File/Open Quicken offers only the. Has anyone any ideas about what is going on here and, hopefully, provide a solution. Since Intuit no longer supports version 2004 I have no help there. I continue to request a routine backup after every use but I don’t know why because it cannot restore from it’s backup files.

I loaded the file and then used Quicken’s Copy but it still wouldn’t load the copy it had just made. Not wanting to have to use the thumb drive every time I worked at my accounts I tried copying the files back to the hard disk and tried using SendTo without avail. In desperation I tried the USB thumb drive and the account loaded without any problems. I then tried to Restore from the backup file and obtained the same messages. When I tried to load my current account from its original position on the HD it reported “Can’t open this file” and “Unable to open the selected file”. The experiment with 2010 did not work so I uninstalled it and re-installed 2004 from the original disk. Before I did this I copied over my Quicken files and the backup files to a thumb drive for safety. This would not load until I uninstalled the current version.

This old version is not compatible with Windows 7 so in my preparations for Win 7 I thought I would try Quicken 2010 (the US version).

I am running Quicken 2004, the last UK version produced by Intuit on Win XP Pro SP3, and have been doing so since 2004 without any problems.
