A few months back I ran into a problem and worked with Q. Support to correct it. In the end, the 'correction' was to go back to a previous backup file. The tech left it at that, so ever since I've been working with 'C:\users\ \Documents\Quicken\BACKUP\3 -2020-02-12.AM08.03.QDF'. (Names in brackets are redacted from real names) I'd like to get it back to simply 'C:\users\ \Documents\Quicken\ .QDF. I tried simply copying and renaming it, but when I tried to open it, Q complained. Looking at the other files in the directory, with their timestamps, it appears there are two ancillary files that are kept in sync with the main qdf file: an FXLOG.DAT and ' ._SyncLog.dat'. Can someone advise on the proper method to get me back to , in the correct directory?

A few months back I ran into a problem and worked with Q. Support to correct it. In the end, the 'correction' was to go back to a previous backup file. The tech left it at that, so ever since I've been working with 'C:\users\<myname>\Documents\Quicken\BACKUP\3<originalname>-2020-02-12.AM08.03.QDF'. (Names in brackets are redacted from real names) I'd like to get it back to simply 'C:\users\<myname>\Documents\Quicken\<originalname>.QDF. I tried simply copying and renaming it, but when I tried to open it, Q complained. Looking at the other files in the directory, with their timestamps, it appears there are two ancillary files that are kept in sync with the main qdf file: an <name>FXLOG.DAT and '<name>._SyncLog.dat'.

Can someone advise on the proper method to get me back to <originalname>, in the correct directory?

"Q complained." What exactly was its complaint?
