All bank and credit card statement attachments are now part of the main
*.QDF file. I did a copy of my main file of 300k size, and ended up with a file of only 100k. Validated and supervalidated main file, copied again, and still only 100k. Turns out all my bank statements make it to the copy, but all credit card statements are deleted. Just a heads up for people to check their file sizes after doing a copy.Work-around: Use "Save a copy as..." instead of File Operations-Copy. That preserves credit card attachments.
A new feature for Q2010?
Does it take as long as a regular Copy, or more like a Backup?
John:
Backup of my 300k file takes 23 seconds. "Save a copy as..." takes 25 seconds. File Operations-Copy takes 101 seconds.
Of course, File Operations-Copy has to lop off all those pesky attachments ;-)

Thanks.
It appears there is a file size limit in Q2010, I have 300G free on my C Drive, so it should be able to handle another 300k file. The article is not correct since my bank and brokerage statements get copied, but not the credit card statements.
I don't think that faq has been updated to take account of the change in Q2010 that stores all your data - including attachments - in one file. When the attachments were stored separately, that faq described how Quicken worked. One of Intuit's stated reasons for including all data in one file was to prevent users from losing part of their data.
Seems more like your Copy failure may be a bug. If "Backup" and "Save A Copy As" both handle all your data, seems like Copy should too.
John:
Yeah, I hope it's a bug in the Copy function. I just realized that the sizes of my files are 300MB and 100MB, not 300k and
100k.Bob
Looks like your issue has been noticed:
