Question - copying iMac Quicken file to MacBook
klarry
I am running Quicken Premier 6.10 on my iMac with Monterey 12.6. When I travel, I take my Macbook pro and download the Quicken file from Dropbox, but it will not open on my Macbook. Any suggestions? It is the same file downloaded from my iMac.

If you want to copy your Quicken file to Dropbox to later download onto your laptop, it's best to compress it to a zip file first. The Quicken "file" is really a package - a directory of multiple files - so putting it in a zip file keeps everything together.
OTOH, if you are storing your Quicken file on Dropbox and using the Dropbox file on both computers, you shouldn't do that. You should always have your Quicken file stored on a local drive; storing it on a cloud service like Dropbox or iCloud is asking for trouble.
