In the past, when working with MS-DOS batch files, there was a requirement to enclose long file names in "double quotes" so that special characters within the file name would not cause syntax errors when interpreting the command.

Maybe that's what's happening here … an old remnant to DOS commands.

And maybe that's what's also causing the recently reported "Error 5" when attempting to import TurboTax files into Quicken

You could always start another post as an IDEA, stating the issue and what you would like to happen.

It would be nice to get an alert/error so the user doesn't chase their tail for an hour :)
