[Can] there be a way to have multiple Quicken data files open at the same time? (Q Mac)
Any chance a feature Quicken update would support multiple data files open simultaneously?

You can come close to what you want to do by running a second instance of Quicken in a virtual machine. I do it all the time for my personal and business accounts.3

Thanks for the suggestion John!0 -
Another alternative that USED to be possible is the ability to duplciate the Quicken app and run duplicate copies of Quicken. BUT both macOS AND Quicken have made changes that makes this difficult BUT you CAN run a beta version of Quicken side by side....SO it is still EASILY technically possible IF Quicken would make it possible like it once was....
So, you can add your VOTE to Maintain ability to run 2 copies of Quicken for Mac simultaneously
First, click on the underlined link above to go there, then click the little grey triangle under the VOTE count at the top of page 1 in the blue banner, so your vote will count for THIS feature and increase its visibility to the developers by seeking to have the features you need or desire end up in the latest version (it may take a moment for your vote to register).
(If the triangle is black, your vote has already been counted.)
Your VOTES matter!

My use case for this is for creating a new file after having trouble with one that has transactions going back 14 years. I'd like to have old and new up side by side to get started with some things.0

I agree this feature should be supported in Quicken by now. The workaround I have used to open two instances at the same time is to use Sandboxie-Plus (free) to run a "sandboxed" virtual space on my Windows machine. I can then launch a second instance there and open a file for comparison.-1
