Transfer a QDF file.

WWhipple

I need to transfer the QDF file to another person without my email/pw and without the vault. Other QDF's will remain on my computer. How can I do this?

First, save a data file backup (press Ctrl + B).  Next, I suggest you deactivate the Online Services of all of the accounts and clear any personal data on their General tab.  If you have a data file password, I suggest you reset the password appropriately (select File > Set Password for this data file...).  If you have a transaction password, I suggest you reset the password appropriately (select File > Set Password to modify transactions...).  To delete the Password Vault, select Tools > Password Vault > Delete Vault and all Saved Passwords....  To clear the Quicken ID associated with the data file, select Edit > Preferences..., Quicken ID, Sync & Alerts, Sign In as a different user, enter yes, select Sign Out, and press Alt + F4.
