What software did you use to copy the Quicken data to the CD? Do you have any CD-R's? (How long did it take to erase the CD-RW?) I would recommend you use CD-R's instead. The CD burning program of choice for me is Nero, since I believe it has the simplest interface of all of them, especially for those with less experience. If you let me know what program you're using, I may be able to send you some screen shots that may help. Tom Glo wrote: > Tom, I finally tried to copy Quicken to a CD.
