Please log in for more thread options Hi, John.
As MikeG says, it should be no problem at all. Just remember that a Quicken
"file" is actually a set of related files. If you use the built-in Quicken
Backup and Restore tools, it will automatically handle the entire set. But
if you use Windows Explorer's Copy or other tools, you'll have to remember
to include the whole set. (By default: QDATA.*)
You probably knew that, but we never can be sure if somebody who doesn't
know it is "reading over our shoulders". ("Lurking" in a newsgroup is good.
We can learn a lot that way and avoid having to ask the same question
ourselves.)
