How does the MYM Windows translation compare to the MYM DOS translation?
If you happen to have a copy of MYM Windows (or download a free one), then open the MYM DOS data into MYM Windows and translate from there. The MYM Windows translation to QIF has some advantages. First the MYM2QIF program directly accesses the MYM Windows database, without the need for Export files. MYM2QIF does not depend on any account numbers, or memo fields to determine transfer accounts, because the “internal” account numbers in the MYM Windows database are used. Account allocations in splits are actual transfers. Secondly the MYM Windows Portfolio registers do have an “Action” field that is similar to that in Quicken. MYM Windows and Quicken5 both allow category allocations for transactions that will affect the cash balance directly in the Portfolio register; making a straight forward translation possible. The adjustment for CMA accounts is available for the MYM Windows translation.
