Emily - I strongly urge you to relax and re-think the idea of having him
RE-ENTER all the data. The options people mentioned here are not too
ominous, and in fact, aren't Quicken specific in most (if not all the
suggestions), but are rather typical ways to move data from one machine to
the other. Why not try to find someone in your area to help you in person
if you can't figure it out yourself? Retyping data is NOT what productivity
aids like Q and PCs are supposed to make you do!!
