I was in exactly the same situation for several months. Then I put Vmware on my machine and that was better than having a dedicated Windows laptop. But, it still wasn't good enough because I just hated using it. Windows was an abomination on my otherwise pleasant machine. Also, Vmware takes too long to boot and is a lot of overhead just to run a check book balancing program. So, I made the jump to cbb (check book balancer) and have been quite happy with it. It does not supply all the stuff Quicken does, but it does a lot and if you want something you can write it up. Also, I have come to like being able to see my databases in Emacs! cbb imported my quicken files pretty well. If I remember correctly, I had to edit the date and/or entry number because it wasn't in the form cbb was expecting. This was a while ago, though, so it might work now. Also, I was using an old Quicken. HTH. Brian Flaherty -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
