This should not be necessary, but it works for QIF export from PayPal's web site, to get the PayPal QIF export into a Quicken checking account. After an initial history download, the standard one-step update will maintain it. From http://mattmc3.blogspot.com/2009/09/quicken-2009-first-impressions.html: [excerpt] Here are the step-by-step instructions for getting MS Money data into Quicken 2009: Create a "cash account" in Quicken. You won't need to keep this, but you must have one while importing your historic data. Create a single account for either your Checking, Savings, or credit card account. Whichever you're going to import first. For simplicity, name the account "Checking", "Savings", or "CCard" and tell Quicken that you'll manually add the transactions rather than connect to your bank. Even if you have multiple accounts of the same type, you'll only be importing one at at time. Export all the transactions for an account from MS Money to a QIF file. I recommend NOT exporting to "strict" QIF unless your Quicken import fails. Start with the loose QIF. Open the QIF file in a text editor (notepad). At the top of the file insert the following text, replacing "Checking" with "Savings", or "CCard" if you're importing one of the other account types. Be careful not to delete anything already in the file, and don't leave any empty lines. !Option:AutoSwitch !Account NChecking TBank ^ NChecking TBank ^ !Clear:AutoSwitch !Account NChecking TBank ^ 5. Import the .QIF file. You'll need to choose the "cash account" you created in step 1 as the destination. Of course, that's just a ruse to fool Quicken because if all goes as planned, the import should go to the account you named "Checking", "Savings", or "CCard". You'll likely get a dialog box that says your file has new categories in it - say "yes" to add the categories. If all goes well, you should get a success dialog. If you don't get a success dialog, you're on your own. This worked without a hitch for all my accounts. You might try the "strict" QIF in step 3.
