Other than printing inventory reports to a disk file, I don't
think there is any way to export Quicken inventory data and I
know of no other program that can read Quicken's .idb files.
But I don't think you should have any worries about Intuit
deleting the feature in the near future; Intuit has recently
beta tested a new version of Home Inventory ... my guess is it
could be available for Q2007.
Further, Home Inventory is a separate stand alone program, not
part of qw.exe; I don't see how Intuit could keep you from using
that home inventory program for as long as you like.
And even if Intuit were to discontinue all support for Home
Inventory at some unknown time in the future, it's not likely
that you could do much ahead of time to protect yourself; what
you can do today, you can probably do tomorrow. If you like
Home Inventory - the current, or new version - why not just use
it until you can no longer do so?
