What is a .QDB file?
A .QDB file is a type of data file specifically used by the 5th and 6th versions of the Quicken software, which is a program designed for managing personal finances. This file format is used to save important financial information like bank account details and records of purchases. The data in a .QDB file is saved in a special format that can only be read and used by Quicken.
To open a .QDB file, you need to have either version 5 or 6 of Quicken by Intuit. These specific versions of the software understand how to handle the .QDB format and can access the financial data stored in these files.
Quicken has been around since 1983 and was originally developed by Intuit. Over the years, Quicken has used different types of file formats to store data. For instance, earlier versions such as 3 and 4 of Quicken used the .QDT file format. After version 6, Quicken switched to using the .QDF file format starting with Quicken versions 98, 99, and 2000.
It's important to note that Intuit, the original creator of Quicken, sold the software to H.I.G. Capital in 2016. Later, in 2021, H.I.G. Capital sold Quicken to Aquiline Capital Partners. Quicken is now developed and maintained by Quicken Inc.
