in [Quicken]

From: Han on 3 Jan 2010 08:15 I can't find the answer to my question googling, on groups or in the wild. I would like to keep Q2008 on the same machine AND install Q2010 (both are the deluxe version US flavor). Is this possible, and what precautions do I need to take? -- Best regards Han email address is invalid

You MUST choose a different folder to install the new Quicken, don't use the default choice. Do a custom install. It is also a good idea to have your quicken data in a folder of your choice, rather than the Quicken folder. A separate folder for each version of Quicken. -- CSM1 http://www.carlmcmillan.com --

I still have Q2008 on another machine, and did back up <grin>. -- Best regards Han email address is invalid

To prevent the uninstall of other Quicken versions when you do an install: the first time during the install that you see a "Next" button to click, hold down CTRL+SHIFT while you click it. -- John Pollard
