I hate to be a wet blanket but Quicken is real tight with your data. 
The only way I was able to get my Pop's Quicken data off his old
computer was to run Quicken and create a backup to my USB drive.  I
could not locate a clear data file on the computer.  I dare say one
doesn't exist, you might migrate to something else.

One reason I will never use Quicken.
