Re:- Migration from Money 2004 to MMEX running on iMac
Posted: Fri Jul 22, 2022 2:22 pm
Good afternoon everyone
I am new to MMEX and this Forum and I apologise in advance for the naivety of my questions, but I am searching for a solution and from all the reviews I have read and some posts on this Forum I feel confident I am in good hands, as I am a relative novice compared to many of your contributors!
The background is I have built up 25 years of data in Microsoft Money 2004 version 14.0.120.1105 initially on a dedicated Windows Desktop, but for the last 5 years I have been running this programme on an iMac using VMware to view through a Windows 10 operating system. However as this is no longer supported my fear (along with many other people) is that one day it will fail to operate and I need to move on before this happens.
Consequently through the various reviews I have read lead me to believe MMEX would replace the above and run directly on the Mac Operating system, which currently is Mac OS Monterey version 12.3.1.
So to my questions:-
A) I have read the user manual which is very good and I hoped you would have a similar document regarding installation of your programme and how to go about importing the data I have in Money which tells me I can export in QIF form, however I cannot find a document in the Forum?
B) Alternatively has anyone made this transition who could guide/advise the best procedure to follow?
C) In the Money 2004 programme you have a choice of either Loose QIF or Strict QIF when exporting, which do I use and do I need to prepare Money in anyway before exporting (i.e open closed Accounts)?
I could go on but very conscious that this is approaching an essay and mindful of taking up the time of anyone to read this post, but wanted to include sufficient detail and hopefully through this Forum I can receive the help I need to make this move.
Finally I would wish to take this opportunity to thank everyone for the Development of this product and would just add that I feel as many do that whilst this is offered as a free download, I would wish to make a small donation to help in some small way to the continuation of this Development
