My Quicken data files have a name that includes the year. I want to
rename it to include 2010. However I notice there are several Quicken
data files: *.qdf, *.qel, *.qph, *.qtx, etc.

What is the best way to rename my data file without messing things up?
What effect will that have on backup files?

Thanks, Jeff

Q2008 has a rename function: File | File Operations | Rename

What version are you using? Does it have the same function?

Thanks for pointing that out to me. I found it and it worked like a
charm. I have Quicken Deluxe 2008.
