Dave,

I would imagine that if your cable is working fine in NCU, then it should
work OK with PQ Connect. The problem you're facing here, I think, is that
this version of Quicken, v6.0, isn't compatible with your version of
PocketQuicken. Quicken did come up with a version for the Palm, so I guess
that's probably what the desktop version of Quicken is expecting.

You would have to find the version of Quicken that was current at the time
PocketQuicken for the Newton was released.

Again, like I said, if you really don't want to do double-input, you could
always give a try to PocketMoney. You can export the data in PocketMoney to
your desktop in a format that Quicken will be able to import.

You would have to give up PocketQuicken, though...

-Laurent.
