Can't change my Quicken file name with copy in latest update today
dmanjapan
I like to update quarterly a new file name to keep my data spread out in different versions. Latest update but now I can make a non-functioning copy but I used to be able to just change the file name. Now I can't easily do that. Any solutions? I'd like to see a simple menu option to allow file name changes. Thanks.

One way to achieve the equivalent functionality is to select
File > Show this file on my computer
, exit Quicken, press
Ctrl + C
,
Ctrl + V
,
F2
, enter the new name, press
Enter
and open the desired Quicken file
.
Note: Don't perform the copy if Quicken may be performing a scheduled update.

Thanks. That'll help until Quicken gets around to making it convenient again. Wish they'd ask before dumping improvements on customers. Cheers.

Can't you just make a backup and add the date to it or change the name?
dmanjapan
Yes, thank you. That would work too. It was just easier to do it in the program directly. I don't know why they didn't leave it in.

I have modified my earlier response to eliminate the possibility that Quicken may update the Quicken file as it is being copied.
