This screen came and I have never seen it before. Everthing has been working fine just a day ago or so. I can't get in and Quicken support is non existent. Help Screen Shot 2023-01-14 at 3.02.36 PM.png

    If you have not moved your data file, have not installed and update, and have not modified your system preferences, this would be really strange.

    Quicken does require access to your system.  Double check your System Preferences > Security & Privacy > Privacy tab ... then select in the left column "Files and Folders" and verify whether Quicken is listed in the list of apps in the right column with access to your Documents folder.  (I've moved my QMac data file out of ~/Library and into my Documents folder where I can more easily find it, so had to add this permission.  If you've left your file in the default location, this shouldn't be necessary.)

    What version/build of macOS are you running and what version/build of QMac?
