Please log in for more thread options Hi, ndcdfm1
How's this for serendipity? ;^)
Skimming through some old messages this morning, I found this in a post by
(who else?) John Pollard on 2/4/05 in a thread with the Subject: Last
Chance to Escape:
<paste>
If you have the problem that S_Coleman refers to - the need to
merge two Quicken files - you could try a combination of
export/import Lists, if needed, combined with Q2005's ability to
cut/copy/paste multiple transactions at once ... even between
files. The files must be on the same machine and you can not
close Quicken until you have completed the cut/paste (so you cut
from file 1, open file 2, paste into file 2).
</paste>
As I said, I've never tried this and didn't know it was possible, but it
might work for you.
