Sorry I cant help on this William (since its a Quicken security question).

I'll email Barry and ask him to look in. He's my Quicken "consultant" :)
He may be on holiday.

Yes, i am on holiday but picked up the message. This never happened to me but looking online I see....

this gives some remedies, including remaking the files from backups.

A lot depends on whether the quicken version is still supported.

Well done William. I'm sure you are relieved to be able to retrieve your data.
