Migrating from Quicken Home & Business 2014 to MMEX

Post by Baggy77 »

I just found out about this cool software of yours and I wanted to know if it's possible to migrate all the data I have already inserted into Quicken Home & Business 2014 to MMEX automatically. Please tell me it's possible because it's about 18 years worth of data and it would be impossible to re-insert it manually. Please let me know. thanks

May I kindly ask your reasons to move away from such a mature software?
Seems that Quicken Home & Business 2014 offers advanced features for both personal and small business finance, including invoicing, rental property management, tax tools, and comprehensive investment tracking.

What do you expect from MMEX exactly?

The reasons are that i have to feeling that MMEX might be a simpler software, it's free, open source, more up to date and so that it might be better for my personal finance tracking. I only need to track my family accounts and expenses, so I'm actually not using all the features of Quicken.

I haven't installed MMEX yet because first I wanted to know if I could migrate my data from Quicken since I have about 18 years of data.

Please you tell me if it makes sense migrating from Quicken to MMEX. If you tell me it doesn't because Quicken has more stuff then I won't even bother trying MMEX out.

Thanks for the question and thanks for your future advice.

Well... first of all, welcome to the community! :D
On bullets...

You do not need to install MMEX. Your can try it in a portable version on Windows. Either stable one 1.9.0 or even the beta version.
You can try to import .qif files or even .csv files, account by account. Volume is not a problem, AFAIK.
Please take in account links given above by forum admin Renato, on some limitations.
... and finally, check if the info given in reports and layouts does satisfy your needs.

Hope this helps.
