Is there a way of changing the name of your Quicken file (H&B 2013) without losing price history in the investing section?
Many thanks Jim

Hi Jim
- Backup your data first - File > Backup
- Then File Operations > Rename
- Choose your data file by clicking the name of it once
- Then in the vacant box at the bottom of that screen type the new name

I have found it safer to do it in reverse order, give it its new name first then point to the file that you want to Rename

Thanks to both of you.
I am trying to rename a file that I brought across from the old computer 0 it has the date info extension as part of the file name. However when I then try to rename it, it says it can't find the file - and yet that is the file I am using - or maybe do I need to exit the file that I want to rename first? Quite confused Thx

Would be interesting to know how you are using the file. Are you able to tak a screen shot when you dgo to FILE down the bottom left there are usually 4 data files listed with the extension on how you are using the data file.
1.
2.
3.
4.
I am presuming maybe it is not restored in the best suited location (on the C:/ in the Documents and Quicken or Reckon folder.
Can you either screen shot or type the location of the number 1. file please0 -
Hi Robyn - thanks for your reponse - is this what you want to see/?
Sorry - seems to be sideways0 -
I Can see your name is getting too long and my preference is to save the data file directly into c:drive and i create a folder called H&B for my data files

I am feeling a bit confused now - I am able to back up the file, then open it and it has all my investment price update details so, even though it is a long file name, I think I should stay with that. I have run quicken for 20 plus years now and I think may have saved it incorrectly over time. But at least I have a file that is serving my needs. So thank you everyone. Jim0
