[moneydance] Can't transfer from MS Money

[Ken and Ann Carr]

Thank you for your reply, Andy.
Here is what I have done....
I made sure to start Moneydance as Administrator.
Exported MS Money File: "Loose QIF."
Save in: Moneydance...In file name box: Wells Fargo Checking, as in MS 
Money.....then export: "regular".....Which money acct to export: Wells Fargo 
Checking....Continue...Export complete.

Opened Moneydance...Chose Import File (on bottom) ....Then choose QIF file 
to import....Look in: Moneydance.....File name: Wells Fargo Checking....Then 
"open'
In import QIF file window....From:C:\ProgramFiles(86)Moneydance/Wells Fargo 
Checking.
Next window: "Existing account" is grayed out. So I selected "new 
account"....Source: From another program....and import account info only. 
Then click ok and then I get the dreaded error message again....Error: 
Cannot read file: C:\Program Files(86)Moneydance/Wells Fargo Checking.

I have tried different "From QIF files" but nothing seems to work.  I never 
get any further than to this point and just can't figure out what I'm doing 
wrong. I hope that I was able to explain my problem adequately and hope that 
you have a suggestion for me.
Again, thanks for your help so far.   Ann
