Prior backups required 3 floppies. Today, after entering data to my checkbook, it pnly asked for 2 floppies,
Any guess as to what is going on?
It *must* be corrupt!!! Proceed with care ;) You haven't done any clean-ups lately have you? (like year-end copies etc)
During the last few years, a few things are certain; death, taxes, and ... Quicken file bloat (and who ever asked them to make the files uncompressible??????) I even remember a brief discussion a while back about trying to remove all the stocks, transactions and accounts from a Quicken file and still be left with 6 MB (from 10 with everything in it) of ..... nothing(?) :)
Spyro PS. I wouldn't worry too much about the 3 floppy --> 2 floppy thing, you were probably barely in need of the 3rd one; it will reach 4 with Quicken

Just a wild wild guess here: Are you set up on a fiscal year basis instead of a calendar year basis? And if so, did you do any kind of end-of-(fiscal)-year cleanup? I wouldn't suggest this as the potential reason if you were asking at any other time of year, but since you posted just a month after the end of the traditional fiscal year, I was just wondering.
