Help! I have just installed Reckon 2020 and I can't open my .RKN file as its not a QDF one. When I go to Restore Backup there is no 'Local Backup' option.... How do I open my backup with 20 plus years of data in it?0

Actually i have just managed to do it, thanks Gerry. I uninstalled and reinstalled. Then I went through the restore thing and this time it worked - mostly....
However, my share prices for USA shares have been wiped out and i am unable to download historical prices (which i could do with 2019; it would update from US market in $US). When i update now, any USA shares register as $0 value. All my historical prices are wiped out. This is also for some other shares that are not on the ASX. Oh and I just noticed all my historical ASX prices are gone, bar since Aug 6. Any ideas?0
