Obviously, Quicken will do what they can to avoid customers switching away

While a technically correct Quicken file is a good starting point for an
import into GnuCash, it is worth remembering that Quicken uses "single

You could try checking the integrity of your Quicken file first by running
one of the "Validate and Repair" options in the "File" menu under "File
Operations". Sometimes parts of the qdf file gets corrupted and the repair

Hi Ken. Thanks for the detailed suggestions. I did go ahead and try
splitting the 30 years of Quicken into two segments -- one for the
first 20 years, and another for the most recent 10 years.

crashing the same way. GnuCash just abo
And there is always the question: Do you really NEED to import files? I
figured that I'd just use Quicken for reference, and I just started GnuCash

The only sticking point might be investments in which you need
As has been mentioned before, Quicken handles data differently than GnuCash.
In addition to the other comments concerning this issue, there is the way that
Quicken handles years in dates. Instead of using a 4 digit year, someone got

Hi Ken,
I did try looking thru a bunch of those archive messages (although
admittedly no more than a few dozen). But none of those postings seem
to address the same thing that I've run into. Most are regarding
problems that users found with the accounts or entries in the
resulting .gnucash file th
I had a 150mb Quicken 2016 file to import. The only way I got it to work
was to export the file into yearly qif files by account. It took a long
time and the final gnucash file required significant hand editing to match
up transactions to the right categories and transfer accounts. Good luck!

I haven't tried exactly to do what you describe but the only thing I can
