Looking for an open source library, for C++, Java, C# or Python, for reading the data from Quicken .qdf files.
@Swati: Quicken .qif format is for transfer only and is not kept up to date by the application like the .qdf file is.

Perhaps click start / Windows System / File Explorer, and under Search, type . qdf and press enter. it'll search your computer and show you all the quicken files on your computer. The default location for your files is Documents \ Quicken, so they're likely in that folder.
The anti-virus and/or firewall on your system could be blocking Quicken from running properly. They will need to be disabled or have the settings updated to include Quicken as a safe program. If you do not know how to update these settings, please contact your anti-virus/firewall provider.
By default, Quicken stores files in the Quicken folder. In File Explorer, open My Documents > Quicken. If Quicken reveals more than one . QDF file on your computer, make sure that you open the one that you want.
QDF is proprietary and not really meant for reading other than my Quicken, probably for a reason as it is messy.
I would recommend finding a way to export the qdf into an OFX (Open Financial Exchange) or qif file. I have done some financial and quickbooks automation and I did something similar. The problem is if you don't export to an exchange format, each version differs and strange things happen for many conditions that since they aren't documented (QDF) it becomes a bad situation for the programmer.
OFX is what allows online banking, brokerages and apps like mint.com securely get financial data. It is a standard and consistent. Finding a way to this is much better if at all possible.
