Quicken 2008, soon to get Q 2009.
I'm getting old(er) and it is more difficult to remember how to do certain things on the computer than it used to be! I must get a new Windows XP computer and I have several 15 meg Quicken files. I can easily move them to the new computer via CD's or floppies, but how can I move things like the passwords and other things needed to have Q download from banks and brokerages, and Pin Vault things?? What file are these things stored?
Thanks.
Just do the normal migration. All that will go with it.
- Back up the database
- Make a copy and store it elsewhere
- Validate the database and fix any problems
- Print sample reports for later comparison
- Backup the database
- Install Q on new computer
- restore database from validated backup
- Re-run reports and verify data integrity
- backup and get back to work. ;-)
Done.........
