Why is some of my data missing after converting my data files to Quicken 98 from a prior version?

The data file you converted to the new Quicken 98 probably had some minor data damage that was not evident in the prior program. The conversion process leaves behind data that is corrupted to the point of being unrecognisable by Quicken 98. While some data may be lost in the conversion process, the new Quicken 98 data file will now be secure and uncorrupted.

If the data losses were minor, it may be easiest to manually recreate the information in the new Quicken 98 data file. Examples of minor data loss could be missing categories, missing splits, and reports or transactions that are no longer memorised.

Where data losses are too great to manually recreate in the new Quicken 98 data file, go back to the prior version and go through the ordinary procedures for dealing with damaged data files. Once the old file has regained its integrity, convert it to the Quicken 98 format.
