From: D.Duck on 1 Apr 2010 20:02 Quicken 2010. Is all information contained in QhickenData.QDF data file, including my non-default program preferences? In other words can I take this single file and use it on a completely different Quicken program installation and retain "all" features/preferences from the original installation? Thanks

There are some program preferences that are not in that data file. Some program settings are in a set of .ini files in the Quicken Program folder. -- CSM1 http://www.carlmcmillan.com

Huh? So the answers to both questions are "No", isn't it? Not everything is in ..qdf that can be transported to retain all setting. ------------------------------------------------------ Regards - - Andrew

I found none with a later date than the day I installed Quicken. Of coure the *.QDF files are updated every time i close Quicken.

I checked the ini files in my Quicken folder, your are correct, none of the files had a date stamp of later than when the program was installed. So all of the settings are in the one QDF file. The real test would be to try the concept and see what happens. You can test before trying for real. -- CSM1 http://www.carlmcmillan.com |
