Hi I would have liked to have syncronized a quicken file between 2 computers i use for a small business.
i am sure there is not a way of doing this except for backing up and then restoring etc, but thought i would ask.
thanks tim

Store the data on a network share. Map a drive letter to that share and have the Quicken software point to that share. Note that only one application from one PC can access the data at any given time.
This is how I do it on my SOHO LAN.

An alternative is using Karen's Replicator (freeware/donationware). Scroll down on . This is an easy (very easy) front for xcopy plus a few other niceties. I use it to back up my files to another drive. My wife uses it to back up to another (old) computer. "Karen" can be set to copy to a new directory, which has a date included in the name for multiple backups. It can also be set to only back up changed files, with or without replicating deletions. You can back up from here to there and from there to here. I also use it to synchronize files between a computer and a USB flash drive, both at home and at work.
Be careful how you set it up, because Karen will faithfully do what you tell her, no matter how stupid the instructions. Be especially careful with deletions ... DAMHIKT!
Tim - this question comes up a lot in this forum. Check the google archives for lots of discussion in years past. Here's one view of this:
Out of interest, how is Karen different from using xcopy /s/e/m ?

I have no idea. I surmise, Replicator is a just a gui for xcopy, but I haven't looked under the hood. While it is fun to memorize command prompt scripts and the myriad switches that go with them, if you don't do it for a living, it becomes boring and dangerous (IMHO as a biochemist).
I believe you have insulted me and all biochemist.

I truly apologize for that. Next time I'll add a smiley.
