From: Ken Blake on 1 Apr 2010 14:12 I run Quicken 2010. I would like to do the following for when I'm on vacation, if I could. Can somebody tell me whether it's possible, and if so, how to do it. Install a copy of Quicken on my laptop, but have none of my financial information (account numbers, balances, etc.) on it. The only things I would want would be my checking account (for ATM transactions) and a credit card account. I'd like to record transactions in those two accounts, and then when I returned home transfer all of those transactions to my desktop copy of Quicken. Setting up Quicken on the laptop and recording the transactions is easy, but I don't know of a way to transfer them to the desktop. Can somebody help? Thanks. -- Ken Blake Please Reply to the Newsgroup

Not sure why you have to file/import anything. Before you leave home, copy your most recent files from your desktop to your laptop. When you return, copy your laptop files to your desktop.

When you return, copy your laptop files to your desktop. that's what I usually do EXCEPT that OP only wants to take selective accounts with him and then transfer the info back to the Q file on the desktop. It might be easier to create a file that only has the selective accounts in it. This can be transferred back and forth bwt computers without any problems. Create a second file that has all of the remaining accounts and keep that file only on the desktop file.
