How to convert data from Microsoft Money to AceMoney

AceMoney can import data from the XML report files and QIF files produced by Microsoft Money.

XML report files require less time and effort than QIF files, so we recommend to try them first. Only if you experience difficulties with XML files, try to export and import QIF files.

Import report XML file to AceMoney

17. Launch AceMoney.

18. Click File->New to create a new data file

19. Select File->Import, navigate to Desktop and select Account transactions.xml. Click Open and wait a couple of minutes.

20. If you don't track investments, you are done! All Microsoft Money accounts should be on the screen.

21. If you also had investments in Microsoft Money and generated an Investement Transactions report (steps 10-16), select File->Import and open Investment Transactions.xml. Investment transactions will be added to the accounts created in the previous step.

22. The imported file does not contain investment symbols, only the investment names. Without the symbols AceMoney would not know the current share prices, so you will see large negative gains. No worries, this is expected, the gains will go back to normal as soon as you manually enter investment symbols in the Portfolio page and download (or manually set) current quotes.
