Quicken Data can be exported to a Text file in QIF format. It makes a
huge text file, You can reduce the amount of data included in the QIF
file. Then Email the QIF file.

Open your data:
File>Export>QIF file.

Having said that, you can (if the recipient has the same version of
Quicken) zip the contents of the Quicken files, there are five files.

The five files are (Located where you have the Data file OR in the
Quicken folder)
DataFilename.IDX
DataFilename.QDF
DataFilename.QEL
DataFilename.QPH
DataFilename.QTX

Then Email the Zip file.

If you have the data file passworded, you would also have to give the
recipient your password.

You could remove your password before you Zip the data files. Then no
password needed.

Have you ever sent file attachments via Outlook ?

Go look in your Quicken Data area,
and there will be 4 files that need to be sent as attachments.
qdf - qel - qph - idx

I have not noticed the QTX file before...only the other four. Do I
need to track down the .QTX file?

This is what I did.....I backed up the file to my desktop and then
attached the qdf file from my desktop to an e-mail. I sent this e-
mail with attachement to myself. I then opened the e-mail with
another computer and saved the file to the desktop of that computer.
Then I opened Quicken 2009 and did a file\restore browsing back to the
file on the desktop. All seemed to work well....Do I really have to
send the other three (or four) files? I am sending a file to an
attorney out of state who needs it quickly. He has asked for me to e-
mail him the quicken file. I have heard of problems in the past, but
ran this quick test, and it seemed to work with just the .qdf file.

What am I missing?
