As I said, I had a block on Bruce's name. Apart from that I recall him
fondly. Thanks for reminding me!

I just tried, and Quicken 2010 requires at least 6 alphanumeric
characters.

Quicken 2010 says it requires at least 6 alphanumeric characters.
Space is not alphanumeric. However I tried it, and it accepted
special characters too.

How about backing out to the previous version of your data files in
the Backup directory?

On a broader scale - I keep my system and critical data on a
relatively small C: drive (< 30 gigs). Every day at 3 am Acronis True
Image does an incremental backup of this drive onto another much
larger drive. Every couple of months I do a full backup, save it on
some DVDs, and start the incremental backups over.

So if something gets blatzed, I can mount the backup for any given day
and restore files from it. This saves my butt about once a month.
