I am still using QuickBooks 2001. And I am interested in the multi-
currency feature in QuickBooks Pro 2009.

How different is 2009 from 2001? Is there something in 2009 version
that will force me to upgrade at a later date [I don't use the payroll
feature]?? How easily does the multi-currency work?

TIA

There have been a LOT of changes and improvements over the past 8
years! But, entering the basic transactions (invoices, checks, etc.)
are still about the same. Multi-currency is really cool! You can go
to Help, Learning Center, and see a quick tutorial on it or go to
accountant.intuit.com/training and in the online course on whats' new
for 2009 there is a section on multi-currency. You won't be forced to
update, but you really should update every 3 years. QB Pro is on sale
for $100 at Office Depot this week. I think you will need some help
to update your data file from 2001 to 2009.

Sorry, I click on the wrong button and my previous follow-up was
mistakenly sent to the Author.

see a quick tutorial on it

Where is that Help, Learning Center? On Intuit's web site? Or in
QuickBooks software?

You mean that QB 2009 is not backward compatible and therefore can't
easily read 2001 files?

The Learning Center is built into the QB software.

There have been a few changes in the software including what database they
use. Some folks have needed to upgrade their files to an intermediate year
such as 2005 or 2006 before taking the final jump to 2009.
