I just archived my 2016 and earlier transactions. I want to change the name of my file from 2015 to 2017. How can I do this and still keep my transactions. I tried changing the name via files rename. It did not work.

    We may not change the name of the data file while it is open in Quicken.  To change the name of a data file using Quicken, press the Ctrl key and open Quicken, press Ctrl + O, select the file, and press F2 or use Windows File Explorer.

    There is no "files rename" command in Q ... so what did you actually do?
    And, in what way did it not work?
    Also, what BUILD of Q are you running? Do HELP, About Quicken for this info.
