Will MS Money 2007 both read/convert my Money 2005 user files to its file format? I'm upgrading to a computer w/Windows 7 &amp; will be using Quicken 2010

I upgraded to MS Money 2007 a few years ago primarily because I was considering the new Quicken software. My thinking was that Quicken might not convert files from one of the older generation Money programs. After trying Quicken I was very dissatisfied with it and stayed with the Money 2007. Conversion of older version information was no problem. I use this software on two computers, one with XP and the other with Vista. Works fine on both and I email myself the backup file from one to the other each time I update on one or the other computer. Good thing, because I have noticed that on occasion Money 2007 reverts back to the new user state and I don't know why. The emailed file updates come in handy when this happens because I can do a file restore from the emailed copy of the saved file. I wish Microsoft would reconsider getting back into this market as they had a superior product. No Quicken fan.

I recently bought a MacBookPro Retina, and could not the old 2007 version of Quicken, as I have several accounts linked to each other. Fortunately I found on sale at Amazon a newer released version of 2007 Quicken that works very well with Mountain Lion. I strongly recommend it. Previously when this new 2007 version had not been yet available, I had bought Quicken Essentials, and found it almost impossible to use, and wasted my money. I did not try any other programs.

Microsoft Money has been replaced by Quicken, as Microsoft sunseted Microsoft Money in 2011. For additional information, see http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2118008

Yes, I have Windows 7 and the drive is readable. However, you will need to reformat this drive (recommended anyway if only to remove the encryption software that builds in a potential way to lose all your data). If you don't, Windows Backup & Restore won't run. I also had issues using the included software to perform backups.After the reformat, everything's backing up fine. So with a bit of finagling, you should be able to use this with Windows 7.

Hi..yes. When my computer deleted the Microsoft Office program after 6 months, I ordered this individual Excel program to be able to read My files and it worked fine. I later ordered the individual MS Word because I did not need all the other programs. Hope this helps.

It works. I bought a surface which runs WINDOWS 8 and I use Quicken with that. I don't know if you are familiar with Surface but it is the size of a tablet. Using Quicken on that computer is horrible. The font was way to small (increasing the font made things worst). Also, I continually had problems with Quicken not being able to connect with my financial institutions, or the information being outdated. I finally got so frustrated that I quit using Quicken all together.

Yes. It can be reformatted if not in the correct windows format. I only two formats I know are FAT-32 (Mac and pc) and Windows NT (Mac read and PC readwrite).

that is a good question_call the company you bought it from and ask them. I just now did get window 7 myself and fortunately I did all the diskette converting before that. I believe you can just try_it will show you if window 7 allows it to read on your computer.

I've been a money user since the early days and I think these yearly updates have rarely added anything new (except maybe early 2000). I would say that you're wasting money especially if you're not using the automatic statement/balance downloads from your bank. I've never used the feature, but I do have a couple of mutual funds/stocks stored in Money and it does a good job of updated them automatically. The only thing is that these features have to be renewed through software upgrades/purchases about every two years or else you have to input the data manually. I'm currently using Money 2006 and recently tried Money Plus. I really didn't see anything significant except maybe the program startup time. It continued to display the same erroneous data as my current version. Ex. How many time do I have to tell a piece of software that I pay my entire credit card balance every month? Then when I go in the bills summary, it reflects an amount that isn't consistent with the actual account balance. Is that worth paying $45+ for a new piece of software? I really don't think so. What I will never understand is why can't MS publish something a little more detailed information(like Intel when they release new BIOS versions) to let us know what they did. I think it's because they didn't fix very much in the past 12 months since the last release. What they are doing is charging you money for new versions that may have corrected some (not all) bugs. That's garbage--they should release patches like Quicken does when there is something important. Just my 2cents.

Yes you can. It would need to be reformatted in order to work with both systems. It's default format is NTFS (Windows friendly, not Mac OS). Using a Windows PC and possibly the Mac you can reformat it to exFAT which will allow read/write on both platforms.

I spoke to a person @ Quicken who said it is compatible with Lion. I shall see when I load the software.

you can format it for either or. If you formatted windows you'll only be able to read the files on a Mac. You won't be able to right to it from a Mac and vice versa.

Turbotax won't import Moneydance data. Moneydance will export QIF and tab delimited but those won't go into Turbotax. I also use Turbotax. I just enter in the data manually. Years ago, I used quicken and did the import thing. I then had to double check and fix up. I think the manual method is actually faster and more reliable at the end of the day. Every year, I tell myself I'm going to try one of the other tax programs but then time runs short and I fall back on Turbotax. Maybe this year.

Yes. Perform your upgrade then.follow instructions to.open existing file...there should be no problem opening your 2007 file

A version of Quicken 2007 for Lion has just been released. It can import from older versions of Quicken as well as Quicken Essentials.

Yes, but I am curious why you are interested in an older version of the program? DO NOT GET QUICKEN 2014 as its functionality is less than earlier versions. 12 may actually have been my fav. Attaching documents to my transactions is my issue. In earlier versions I could attach Checks or Invoices or Other. When I wanted to view an attachment I chose one of the 3 categories and picked my image. In 2014 there no longer seperate categories. You have to selec, then open, each individual image to find the one you need.

No problem, I just use windows explorer to copy the .QBW (quick books company file) file from my desktop into the equivalent folder on the laptop overwriting the old files and voila they are synched. But be very careful to really overwrite older with newer data and not vice versa or forget to synch before you continue entering data (as it has happened to me) otherwise it is a mess. Good luck.
