Sending Quicken FilesThe backup feature in Quicken is very poorly designed and takes some manual effort to work with effectively. Unlike the backup command in QuickBooks, which puts all of the data into one compressed file, Quicken simply makes copies of all the four or five separate data files and doesn't compress them at all. When I back up my ACT! database, the program automatically zips the 22+ files into one very compressed file. Until such time as Intuit fixes this oversight, you are on your own to work with your back up files.The most effective method of working with the Quicken files is to use a zipping program to combine all of the individual data files into one compressed file that can be easily attached to an email.When sending us data files, please let us know which version of Quicken they are from and what the password is, if you are using one. This will save us a lot of time in getting into the actual data.Also, please send the entire time period covered by the data file. Do not try to limit it to cover any specific time period. We will work with the appropriate dates as needed.
