[moneydance] Import from Quicken

[A. McEwan]

I may be wrong, but it seems to me that doing a Save As not only creates a new backup copy, it also changes the default file to the Saved As version.
   
  Having had a few problems with file corruption, I have taken to making generation backups using this feature and the file name in the title bar is always the Saved As one when I fire it up again.
   
  This should allow you to "play" with different file versions.
   
  Kind regards,

  I imported about 1 year's worth of transactions from my Quicken database

get the
MD data to balance, and have been using it ever since.

Now, for historical data, I'd sort of like to import the "whole" 
Quicken file(s)
which go back about 7 years. Then I could use that MD fileset to search
for transactions of historical interest to me, which I used to do 
with Quicken.

But---I am terrified of "screwing up" my existing MD dataset--it has 
all of
my transactions for this year, is in balance, and is working great.

When importing data is it possible to create a distinct and unique MD
dataset, named differently from the "default" one? And then, 
subsequently,
to switch MD to use either one or the other on command?

Thanks in advance,

Bill
