He is missing data between July and November 06. If he
transfers/converts the July file I would think he can update that by
downloading transactions. Otherwise he is indeed between a rock and a

which is my problem.

I thought I had read that he had a "new user version" (which is what
comes preloaded on new machines as a bait and switch tactic of Intuit's,
but I must have mixed up posts. Sorry.
