I am using Quicken 2010 Premier. It locked up when I tried to sort
entries in a brokerage account by stock name, so I ran Validate to see
if there were any problems.

One entry after validating, states: QEL: "The old file was corrupt and
only some of the data has been recovered."

I thought 2010 did not use qel files. If it does, what is it that I
might have lost? I have many backups, so I can restore if necessary.
Thanks,

Edward

I think I read that 2010 just put a wrapper around the individual files. I doubt
they spent the money on a complete rewrite of the file system.

Did you look at your individual Q system to see if what you say is true? Do
YOU have an files other than .qdf that are being created and/or updated
since migrating to 2010, assuming you did. Well, I am not sure what may
have heard is true. I don't.

See

No more qel files.

You misinterpreted what I was saying. When you have a zip file do you have a
single file? Are there multiple files inside the zip file? Are there programs
that don't require you to unzip the file to access the data in the zip file?

Robert - I guess I did misinterpret what you were saying. I haven't a clue
as to why zip files are suddenly being discussed into your reply to me; they
never came up before.

The OP asked about Q 2010 not using qel files anymore which is true. They
don't. That was my comment and reference back to the original question.
But if your reply helped the OP with additional information, that's all that
counts.
