How To Make A Year-End Copy Of Your Quicken Data File. There are two ways to make a year-end copy of your Quicken data file. Option 1: Use the year-end copy tool to create an archive of your Quicken data file that includes transactions up to the end of the previous year. Store this file with your tax return and other tax records for that year.

I copied my Quicken.qdf file to a WHS /user/ share. Was able to access it from a client computer running Quicken 2005 Deluxe, make/edit entries, and log out. Thought everything was good, but the next time I opened the file in Quicken it was corrupted. It had my account totals, etc.

But all register entries were blank! Tried accessing from multiple computers, and finally copying the file from the WHS share to a local computer and trying to open from there - no luck.I've read another thread or two that other file types are becoming corrupted also - including MS Money files. Anyone else getting corrupted files when written to a WHS share? If so, which file types? I tried this too initially with WHS and found the same result: corruption of the quicken data.I went to the Quicken support forums and did a search on running from a network drive and found that it is not supported in any version of Quicken with the exception of QuickBooks.Me? I gave up on it for the time being resigning to remoting into my main desktop and running Quicken there when on another PC. I had planned on trying SyncToy to keep the files updated on each PC via a WHS share, but I haven't had time to give it a shot yet.

When you store a backup or a copy of a quicken file on WHS you will probably not have a problem as it's nothing more than a file transfer with some rudimentry error checking in the process. but in the case of the quicken program doing read and write operations on the file or 'appending' to the file without actually replacing it you may run into problems the same way you do with Outlook.PST files. Unless you have a version of quicken that supports network storage I would see this as a limitation of Quicken and not WHS.What you you should be able to do though is choose a network location as backup file target and set it to auto backup when you quit Quicken.WHS is a great thing to have but remember WHS is already backing up this file every night so you dont need to store the working copy of the file there. Next, if an application has to get it's Data from a network location it will be much slower than if the file was local.

Install Synctoy on each PC that you run Quicken on.2. Set up a share on your WHS where you wish to keep all of your Quicken data (e.g. Create a folder pair in Synctoy on each PC with the name 'Quicken'.

Choose the local folder where all of your data is located (e.g. C:Documents and SettingsAll UsersDocumentsQuicken) and the server share (ServerQuicken) and set them to Synchronize.4. In ServerQuicken, create 2 batch files named Quicken.bat and QuickenSync.batCopy this into Quicken.bat and save: (Verify your path to qw.exe)call 'C:Program FilesQuickenqw.exe'call 'Copy this into QuickenSync.bat and save: (Verify your path to Synctoy.exe)'C:Program FilesSyncToysynctoy.exe' -r 'Quicken'5.

Change your Quicken shortcut on each PC to point toNow when you use the shortcut, Synctoy will start up and sync your local directory with the server share, start Quicken, and then sync again when you close out. Just be sure not to have Quicken open on more than one PC at a time as the sync upon closing may overwrite data. Will do.I am fairly paranoid about my financial data (not that I have a lot of money to worry about).So I always have my main file.Quicken automatically makes a backupThen I back up to a CD-RWThen I use the Quicken Online Backup for an off site storage place.WHS will just give me one more redundancy of a saved file.Paranoid??-yes.I have spent WAY too many hours plugging in data-setting up accounts, stocks, mutual funds, loans, auto payments, etc. Etc.I finally know where all my money goes each month.important when you've been a public servant your whole life and are sending two boys to college.My WHS comes in Friday (or Monday)-as my boys say:- 'I'm Stoked!' I have been using quicken on a shared SME server for about 5 months now with no problems. My wife uses the laptop and I use the desktop. We have never had a problem with it but have never accessed the data at the same time either.

I like the features of the WHS better which is the reason I am switching over. What makes the WHS any different than any other network drive?The data on the SME server is accessed directly from windows explorer and the drive is mapped. We also moved the My Documents from both our XP computers to the network drive. Has anyone done this with WHS? Although WHS is based on Server 2003, it replaces/modifies certain aspects of it, mainly the file storage system.

If you intend using WHS in a similar manner as you used your SME server, I would take note of which was recently released regarding data loss/corruption. From their blog, they're taking it very seriously, as they said they would be working through the holidays trying to provide a 'fix'.Until such time as this is completed, I would be very wary of keeping your only copy any information on the server. At least keep it on a client as well, where it will be backed up each night. (There has never been a data corruption issue with the backups.)Regarding your query of folders, then I would think the majority of people on here have either mapped their drives, or re-directed their Documents folders, it's one of the main reasons of getting the server for a lot of people.Colin.
