One thought would be to backup your Quicken data files and then move/delete them. Do the upgrade and see if it works, update Quicken to the latest patch level, then point Quicken at the real files. Sounds like a pain, but may isolate an issue
Thanks for the suggestion. I have already loaded Q14 on an older system with an old QDATA file and it came up and accepted the old file. I then tried to switch to a backed up file of my current QDATA and got the same error. So I am pretty sure it is something in the QDATA file. I do not like their archive process because you cannot flip to the archived data and look at it quickly so I have over 13 years of data in the file. Maybe I should reconsider and archive anything prior to 2010 and see if it works. I shouldn't have to.

BTW: I have worked in computers since 1965. Everything from program development to systems support to R&D. I am pretty sure that I have done everything possible to troubleshoot this problem without being able to look at the code or a dump of the program when I get my error. There is a report produced that I have looked at quickly. Maybe I will reload Q14 on the other machine and see if I can get anything out of the report. Maybe I can delete an entry or two from my current file to get it to work.

I have not given up.
