I switched from Quickbooks to Quicken a few years ago.  Stupid decision.  I am now running Quicken 2016 but I want to go back to Quickbooks.  Can I import my data from my Quicken files to Quickbooks?

You don't mention which QB versions (Windows, Mac?) you want to convert to (since, I believe, 2016 will be the last version are you converting to QB Windows?), but see below for help.

For QuickBooks Mac I believe 2015 is the last version that will import a Quicken file. That said it rarely turns out well as the data requirements are too different.

Did you ever get this issue solved? I am looking for answers to this question also.

Do you need to convert data from Quicken to QB Desktop? Which Quicken year version do you have?

I do! Quicken 2013. Quickbooks Desktop 2023 so I used the 2023 Quicken converter and attempted to load that QDF file into my Quickbooks. I get an error, "Failed to load the QDB.DLL...."

You should find the trial version of Quicken 2015 to upgrade your data. Then use the trial version of QB Desktop 2015 to convert it. Next step, use the trial version of QBD 2018 and 2021 to upgrade your file gradually before opening it on QBD 2023 or 2024. Contact me in private for assistance.
