Importing Suggestions

Before you import your data into Quicken, you may want to compare your MYM categories names to those in Quicken. You can start Quicken and select the Categories & Transfers item from the View menu. Quicken will display the list of Categories and Transfers. You can select the Print Categories & Transfers item from the File menu to print this list. 

When you import the QIF file into Quicken, it will create a new category for any account(category) that you used in MYM. To avoid duplicate categories, you might want to global replace your MYM categories to match those in Quicken (or delete the similar onces in Quicken). Simply open your QIF file that MYM2QIF created and make your changes. Be sure to save the file as a text file, not a word processing file.

Also, Quicken only allows you to have 16 characters in a category name. If you have any names over 16 characters, you can global change them to a shorter name.
