Importing Quicken for Macintosh items individually into Quicken for Windows

If your file seems as though it is missing data that should have been included, create a new Quicken for Windows file and proceed with the following import process, using the same Export.qif file:

  1. Click the File menu, point to Import, and then select QIF file. (In Quicken 98 for Windows, click File, point to File Operations, and then select Import.)
  2. Click Browse and locate the Export.qif file on your floppy disk. (In Quicken 98 for Windows, click Find File to locate the file on your floppy disk.)
  3. In the Include in Import field, select only Account List and click OK.
  4. Once the import is complete, all the accounts exported from the Quicken for Macintosh file should appear in your Account List, but without transactions or balances.
  5. Click the File menu, point to Import, and then select QIF file. Your QIF file (Export.qif) should still appear in the QIF File To Import field.
  6. Remove the check from Account List, select Category List, and then click OK.
  7. After the Category list imports, repeat the steps, selecting Security List next.
  8. After importing the Security list, repeat the steps, choosing Transactions and Special Handling for Transfers
    Note: As the transactions import, you may receive messages asking you to verify the account that the transactions are to import into. Answer these questions appropriately as they arise.
