Simple questions

[George Del Monte]

I have a simple question - but not knowing the answer bugs me. Any help?

Whenever I backup Quicken 2004 to a directory elsewhere on the same hard
drive, a Q3.dir file is always created on my desktop. Is this significant?
Where should the Q3.dir file normally be created? Does it matter where the
file is located? (I routinely copy the data files to another computer as
backups to the backup.)

If you search Google Groups for "Q3.DIR Desktop" I think
you'll find all you need to know about this subject.

Thanks. There was one story explaining the Q3.dir file. Appreciate your
help.

Do it without the quotes.

Sorry I wasn't clearer ... Don't put quotes around
the search string. You should get 75+ hits.
