Using the File➪Find Quicken Files
command
You can use File➪Find Quicken Files to select and open your existing Quicken
files. Here’s how:
1. Choose File➪Find Quicken Files from the menu bar by using your
mouse.
Figure 1-9 shows the Find Quicken Data File dialog box that appears after
you choose the command. Quicken uses this dialog box to collect the
information it will need to find your lost Quicken data.
2. Tell Quicken on which disk the data file is probably stored.
Select the disk you want Quicken to search from the Look In list box.
Note that you can click the down arrow to the right of the Look In list
box to display a list of your computer’s disks.
From the list of drives and folders that appears, click the one that stores
your Quicken files. Quicken closes the drop-down list box and displays
your selection in the list box beneath the Look In box.
3. Click Find to search the disk.
Quicken searches the specified disk for Quicken data files. As Quicken
finds Quicken data files, it adds them to the Data Files Found list box.
4. Select the correct file from the list box.
After Quicken finds the Quicken data files stored on the specified disk,
select the Quicken data file you know you want.
5. Click Open after you select the file.
Quicken opens the file and displays the active account in the register
window. (Quicken also displays its Reminders window to show any
unprinted checks or scheduled transactions.)
