If you're like most people, you store some very important information in Quicken. And for the most part, that's where the information stays: in Quicken—in the registers, in the Portfolio, in the Financial Calendar. To see or change the information, you need to open Quicken.
Sometimes you need to step back and think of your Quicken information as data on your computer: data that you need to back up or archive, data that you might want to copy, rename, or move to a new computer, or data that you need to print to show to your accountant or tax advisor.
