Can't convert Quicken data

I just downloaded the trial version of Money 2004. After
installing it recognized that Quicken was installed on my
PC and would convert the files.
It took about 15 minutes after which ALL of my accounts
contained a $0.00 balance.
I attempted to export just one of my accounts to a QIF
file under Quicken and then import it under Money.
Basicaly it told me that there were 1 or more "bad
transactions" in the QIF file. I have been using Quicken
since Quicken 3 (a long time, many many transactions).
So I called Customer Support where I was told by a Ronnie
or Bonnie that they wouldn't help unless I paid for the
full install version.
So, let's see. Microsoft Money just didn't work and there
is no Microsoft Support, but I should buy it anyway.
Really!

What version of Quicken are you trying to convert. Because Money and Quicken
come out together, Money can't convert current year version. So Q2004 >
M2004 is a NONO, but Q2003 > M2004 is OK.

It is about the time of year when MS launch a new version of Money, so if
you can wait a month or so......
