Do be sure to have
your backups set up properly in Quicken, both the Automatic Backups and the
Manual Backups. You can find the settings in Edit / Preferences / Backup.  Don't rely on the installation defaults. That
might not be sufficient.

Write the Manual Backups to an external USB-stick  or USB hard drive every time you close Quicken. Use the "Add a date stamp to
file name" option so that you have multiple backup files (not just one
file that gets replaced every time). 

Also enable and set your Automatic backups to create a backup "every 1
time Quicken closes". Retain 10 copies.

One can never have enough backups …

@Cadap Are you aware of Quicken's automatic backups that should be in a Backup folder within the folder holding your main QDF file?  I would expect that to be much newer than 1-year old.

Thank you for your guidance. In the end the only backup that would install was so old, I could not recreate my data for the year. So I took the most recent backup, and deleted all the investments accounts, which is what was giving Quicken a heartattack. I perhaps will try opening the old backup and deleting one investment account at time, to see who was causing the issue. But covid fatigue leaves me to think, I'll leave well enough alone. Thanks again for your very clear instructions
