Renaming Quicken data files in Microsoft Vista

Legacy KB ID: 2721

Question

Why can't I rename my Quicken data file using the file operations function?

Answer

If you are using Microsoft Vista™ you cannot rename your data file using the Rename function:

File menu > File Operations > Rename.


However, you can rename your data file using the copy function:

File menu > File Operations > Copy.

- Locate the filename from the directory path and edit the name
- Modify the dates to include the start date and today's date
- Select Include All Prior Uncleared Transactions and Include All Prior Investment Transations.
- Click Ok

A window will appear stating which file you would like to use.
- Select New copy and click Ok.
