Quicken too slow after years of data input

realdeal27

I have been using quicken for 20 plus years. My question is how can I block or backup the last 15 years worth of data so it doesn't slow my normal usage? It takes forever to load and get started because it has to load 20 years of data every time I open the program.

Hello @realdeal27, 

Thank you for reaching out to the Quicken Community. We apologize you are having this difficulty. For this particular instance, I would recommend creating a copy of the file with the desired dates. This can be done by selecting File >Copy or Backup File >Create a Copy or Template >Next. A visual example is below. 



On the next popup window, you may select the appropriate dates to include in your file. Once you have chosen the desired dates click Save Copy. Visual example is below. 



Once the file has been copied you will be prompted to choose the copy or original file; select the copy. The original file containing all the other data can be kept for reference. 

Hope this helps. Let us know if you have any other questions or concerns.
