 Thank you very much for doing that, klunk.

What exactly do you mean my "a Full Rebuild" and how is that performed?
TIA

I don't have QB99 installed anymore, but this should
get you going:

1. Open the company file in QB99.
2. Close all of QB's internal windows (select Close All
on the Windows menu).
3. Select the menu item named something like "Rebuild Data"
on the File menu (might be a sub-menu of Utilities item).

You will be prompted to make a backup. The rebuild process
attempts to correct any inconsistencies in the data file that
can build-up from normal usage.

Be sure to use the rebuilt yourcompany.QBW file when you
open it in QB 2007 -- not the yourcompany.QBB backup file.
In fact, make a copy of the QBW file first so you have a
backup in QB99 format.

I always put the version name in the filename, such as:

mycompany-vQB1999.QBW
mycompany-vQB2007.QBW
