Converting Quicken files

[phs...@gmail.com]

I was interested in using Gnash for my financial program because it said that I could convert my Quicken data to it.  But the only files I have are QDF, and the material only mentions QFX, OFX, QIF, and mt940.

It does not import the native Quicken files.  You will need to export the QFX files from Quicken and import those.

Hi. I am trying import my QFX files I generated from Quicken 2014 per your direction above. However the import dropdown doesn't list QFX files as an import option, only QIF. When I try to import the QIF, I get dozens uncaught Java exceptions and nothing installs. I am running Java 8 update 73.

Is File | Import | OFX greyed out?  Make sure you have created a basic file and have it open first and it should be okay.  Use the OFX import.  QFX is just a minor nonsensical extension on top of OFX.

Thanks Craig. Quicken 2014 doesn't export files as QXF, instead it is QFX. At any rate, I tried what you said. I used the default account when I initially opened Jgnash for the first time after install. That of course had zero dollars in each category. I exported Quicken 2014 file (that contained 5 accounts) because QFX export doesn't provide for selecting accounts, you get the whole file). I used trying File | Import | OFX..., however  nothing happened, no import and all categories had the original zero dollars.  Am I out of luck?

Kind of sounds that way if they don't export OFX/QFX files.

I am just trying to do the same thing... moving from Quicken 2014.  I got my Quicken file exported to QIF and then imported successfully to jGnash.  The transaction all look to be ok.  However, when I download new transactions from my bank (into QFX format), the file imported but none of the 50 new transactions were added.

Any idea what may be the problem?

Thanks
