QXF (Quicken Transfer Format) is a file format used to share data between Quicken products. It is the preferred way to move and merge account data between versions of Quicken. Quicken Starter users: Starter cannot import or export QXF files. If you are converting from Quicken for Mac to Quicken for Windows: We recommend starting a new file. This video shows you how to merge 2 bank accounts into one if you've been using 2 by accident and there should only be 1. Be careful as this cannot be undone!

I wouldn't know if there are [specific] H&B nuances at issue as I'm Q06Dlx
(I don't see why there would be though), but why can't you just enter
historical info into your file and simply enter an adjust to zero etc. item
for some total along the way.
That way you can put in batches of history as you're so moved.
That way you wouldn't have to worry about combining some time down the road.
That way as you put it in it's always there.
Setting Up Quicken 2017
FWIW, that's what I did way back when when I first began using Qkn.
It never occurred to me to make a new file.
I started using Q 'for real' and then gradually entered and reconciled prior
statements.
Depending upon the account, sometimes I just entered a statement balance
line (and offset), other times I entered the entire statement (and an offset
line) and sometimes just selected lines (and an offset line).
I guess you could also put it into a parallel 'closed' account that was kept
at zero.
Similar affect.
