| I too use Quicken, but I buy the new update each year, not just download. I also back up about every 3-6 months, that way if I have to major repairs on the computer and loose Quicken, I have the disk and updates. |

| I buy an update every three years as not much changes year to year. I back up at LEAST twice a week. Nice that you only need to do it every 3-6 months! We have so much data... I would NEVER be able to reconstruct 5 months worth if something happens. |

| Which Quicken should I choose? WEB Connect for Quicken 2009 and above Quicken - QIF file (4 digit) Not a clue as to what they are. I know, I've got some reading to do!! Have any of you used something like Lynda.com to learn how to use Quicken? I heard a speaker from Lynda.com. Sounds like good tutorials, not free however. Thanks for your suggestions! Ginny |

| I don't know about either that you mention. I buy my Quicken CD from Costco every three years. I also know nothing of Lynda.com. |

| What you're describing is file formats, not software programs, ginnyginny. If you want to use quicken, just buy the current version. Lynda.com is very good for some software--I know their photoshop courses are highly regarded. They have some free trial videos for each course. I'm not sure their quicken course is up to date at all (it's for quicken 2009 and I have no idea what the current windows version is, since I have a mac), but if you go to the page linked below, the titles in blue are free to watch: |
