I have a message coming up every time I have tried to convert my quicken
file. It reads "Your Quicken file could not be converted." Does anyone have
any further ideas than validating and supervalidating the quicken file?

Remove the password on your Quicken file, if any. Then do Validate
in Quicken. I think that is File->Validate.

Change all custom types to standard Quicken types. Any custom type
will be converted to type Mutual Fund by Money.

Rick Hess posted that in Quicken you can select File->Copy, and let
it make a copy of your file. This routine will, among other
things, defragment your file. Then convert the copy.

Consider having a minimum of other things running when you do
the conversion in Money.
