Follow these steps to clamp a password on a file and keep others from opening it.
Choose File, Passwords, File. You see the Set Up Password dialog box. Type your password twice, first in the Password and then in the Confirm Password box.
Instead of letters, you see asterisks in case anyone is looking over your shoulder (a cunning spy, however, could watch your fingers on the keyboard and get the password that way!).
Click OK.
Next time you or a cat burglar starts Quicken and tries to open the data file, the Quicken Password dialog box bars the door.
Enter the password and click OK. Devious souls who try to get into your data file without knowing the password are told that they have the incorrect password and are sent packing.
To make your password apply as well to the QuickEntry window that you see when you click the QuickEntry icon on the desktop, choose Edit, Options, Register, go to the Miscellaneous tab, and select the check box called Use File Password to Restrict QuickEntry Access. Uncheck the box if you want to be able to enter QuickEntry transactions without a password.
