Is there a way to change the format

Scott Fried

I am using Quicken 2010, Release R 3.

As of now the format is to save a file is "Name-DateMonthYear" as in "Home23Oct2019"

I would like to save it as "NameYearMonthDate" as in "Home2019Oct23"

Does anyone know how to do this? Thank you for your help...

IIRC, you are right, this once was an issue, but it was fixed in a subsequent version of Quicken.

In my current version, Q 2019, the file name format is Name-2019-10-23...

Since you're on an unsupported version, I very much doubt that this is ever going to be changed in your Q 2010 version.

Thank you for your answer. I will look at the cost to upgrade to 2019 if all the files will update. Hate to have to start from zero.

If you are thinking about updating to a newer version.  Do you want to download transactions?  Here's some info on converting to a newer version.

You should at least try to convert to the 2013 version since you don’t use any online services or download transactions now. Starting in 2014 they instituted an ID password to get into your own data. I’m staying on 2013. 

You can download 2013 for free (I think it's the Deluxe version) using this how to convert article.  It’s under Converting from Quicken 2004-2009.
