Jeff,

And there was I thinking you were making a rather neat joke about cooking the books.
I feel disappointed now.

All the best,

It happens as age creeps up on oneself. The good news is I found a poster over on the Quicken support/community that actually knows what he is doing and his posted method worked right off. When I review posts by "experts" most of their advice is pure bovine flatulence. An old saying for us Vets and over the hill engineers is, "an expert is a drip under pressure."

The advice was to copy C:\ProgramData\Intuit from the PC that Quicken works, delete that folder from the new PC and store the copy in its place, or something like that. If one looks at the difference between the old and new it pops out clear as mud. That is "expert" advice. I would post the link but it's on the old WIn-10 PC.

Actually, the more I use Windows 11 the more I appreciate it. It does many operations faster and less fuss. Not the more coherent and clear report, but hopefully the message in positive. After I figure out, or cheat using smart folks' methods, by installing old MS programs the better it will be.

Here it is!!!!
The reference to the fix referred to in my previous post is on: HOME› QUICKEN FOR WINDOWS› ERRORS AND TROUBLESHOOTING (WINDOWS) at: Migrating Quicken 2017 from old to new computer - Quicken Data Access Guarantee - Page 2 or Migrating Quicken 2017 from old to new computer - Quicken Data Access Guarantee



Digging through this stuff can lead us down the path of right-ness.

Have to turn off PCs, here comes the early afternoon thunderstorm!!!!
