Datasheet

If you indicate that you want to open another Quicken data file located on the
computer, Quicken displays a dialog box that asks where that file is. If you
indicate that you want to grab a backup copy of the Quicken file, Quicken dis-
plays a dialog box that asks where that file is. Presumably, if either of these
situations is your case, you’ll know where the data file or backup copy of the
data file is.
At the very end of this chapter in the section, “The mysterious case of the
missing Quicken data files,” I describe how you can locate and open a
Quicken data file.
If you haven’t used Quicken before, Quicken asks if it’s okay to use the default
location for the data file (you should agree to this) and then it automatically
sets up a data file for you (you don’t need to worry about it). After the data
file is set up, Quicken starts the Quicken New User Setup (see Figure 1-3).
This setup process walks you through the steps for setting up Quicken. (You
can find out much more on this process in the next section.)
