File extensions

Hi,



I am working on someones computer and they have provided me with a quicken backup file. I am trying to restore from the backup, but I am using Quicken Deluxe "Special Edition" from '96, Version 5 (that is the version they have been apparentally been using.)



The backup seems to be in parts, named like Qdata1.ADB, Qdata1.QDB, and even QW.cfg. I think they have been using a newer version of quicken but they don't have it anymore or something. \



So, my main question is what version was the earliest to support the .QDB extension?



Thanks in advance



I think those "special editions" are what is now called "new user editions". If so, you can not restore to them. They are free versions for new users only.

As far as I know, any old version back-up will restore into any newer version of Quicken as long as it is not a "new user" one.
