    Thanks for your reply. I was able to restore Company 1 using backup files. So now I have two icons on my desktop named Company 1 and Company 2. Company 1 has 6 years worth of data just restored. Company 2 is newly created with no data. Can I operate these two independent companies without a problem? I'm used to operating in QuickBooks so setting up a second company in Quicken is new to me. Thank you.

    Hi @TooKaa ,

    See this FAQ: https://community.quicken.com/discussion/7307115/add-your-quicken-information-to-your-posts-plus-how-you-are-connected-to-the-internet

    You have not given any information or Build information.

    Quicken Data Files are stored within Documents\Quicken folder, not on the Desktop of the User Account Desktop of the operating system.

    Quicken is not QuickBooks.

    I have 2 Quicken Icons on my desktop. Each Icon opens a different company. Is this the correct way to set up two different companies using Quicken.
