Q2004 and Q2006 on same system Colonel Blip 12-04-2006

 Hello, All!

Is it possible to have both of these programs on the same system? All of my
files are 2004 version but I also need to use files provided by the church
treasurer which are 2006 version.

Thanks,
Colonel Blip.

 I understand only one version can exist and operate within one computer
partition. RC White runs (or ran) a dual boot setup with different operating
systems and could therefore run two versions of Q.

If you open your (as opposed to the set from the church) 04 files with Q06,
you won't be able to work with them in Q04.

Actually, you can have multiple versions of Quicken installed on
the same pc, in the same partition, at one time. If you have
Q2006 or later, the process of doing so becomes more
complicated, but it can be done. I have Q2006, Q2004 and Q2002
installed on my laptop.

John, I run Q2004 but would like to install Q2006. I understand once
I've converted my files I can't go back, but can't I duplicate the
q2004 files and allow Q2006 to convert the copy, and run the two
systems in parallel for a while to make sure things are working? What
is the "more complicated" aspect you refer to above?

Thanks,

jo

Yes you can. That's just what I would do.

Beginning with Q2006, the Quicken installation process wants no
other Quicken version installed, and will not install until you
uninstall older versions or allow the install process to
uninstall them for you.

The workaround is that once your earlier version is uninstalled,
and Q2006 installed, there is nothing stopping you from
reinstalling the older version.

[I believe there is also a way to prevent the Q2006 and Q2007
installation processes from requiring the uninstall of other
versions ... but I don't recall it at the moment. And it only
becomes critical if you want to have both Q2006 and Q2007
installed at the same time.]

There are occasional glitches when more than one version of
Quicken is installed, none usually serious. And there are less
of them with Q2006 since it (successfully) maintains separate
Preferences for every Quicken file.
