Email address change / account ID

woconnell77

In Edit, Preferences, I updated my email address which actually changed the 'Quicken ID.' My 'email address' is still listed as my old email address. It also saw somewhere that the old email address is the 'owner' of the file. How to I fix this mess? The old email address is going away. I am the only one who uses this file on my home computer.
