Mary,
I see no one has replied with the obvious, so I will. I also use Quicken and have many years worth of data. The easiest way to move that data from one machine to another is to do a backup from within Quicken. The command is under –file- -backup-. You can backup to a bunch of floppies, if that is all you have, or you can backup to a zip drive or even a flash drive (I keep my regular backup on a flash drive). Once you have your backup files, open Quicken on the machine you wish to put your data and do a restore. The command is under –file- -restore backup file-. I recently did this from my old box to my new Terminator-isk machine. The process went smoothly. I am using Quicken 2002. I’ve seen no reason to upgrade.
Regards,
Jay
