OK... I went through the hoops of trying to bringing data into iBank. Luckily, before grinding through all the transactions which did not get imported, I looked at the categories and saw that the old intuit classes were missing. Arf. I used classes heavily, so this is the deal-breaker. It takes a nice 2-dimensional way of tracking things and turns it into a flat 1-dimensional world. Perhaps I was using them stupidly, so I'll have to go back and look. In the meantime, I think I'll either make a new partition for booting up SnowLeopard or just skip the move to Lion for now. Boo. It's really sad to become dependent on something which worked pretty well and then have it disappear. Bill
