Upgrade company file from 04 to 08/09? Boppy 10-10-2008

Hi guys, I have purchased, installed and activated QB2008/09 but
cannot open or restore my company file from QB04.

The upgrade instructions tell me I must first upgrade to the 07/08
version, which naturally enough I do not have.

Surely I am not the only person in the world to upgrade to the very
latest version of Quickbooks from QB04 - I mean, really, who upgrades
every year? Do Quicken really expect me to have bought QB07 when
2008/09 is available? (I can't ask them this because it's the weekend
here).

So ... how would I upgrade my 04 company file so I can open it in my
08/09 Quickbooks?

I'd be really grateful if someone here can tell me the trick because
if I can get things upgraded over the weekend it will give me a head
start next week in getting my files to the accountant.

Thanks in advance,
Jo

Ewwwww... I had been contemplating upgrading from 2004 pro as it's not
"Bindows Fista" freindly... Hope somone knows of a soluton for you/us


Good luck Jo.
I'll be watching intently with fingers crossed.

Cheers
Pete

Hi Pete, just to reassure you that the data was able to be upgraded
via 2007/2008 disk which Quicken sent me. It was also in the original
software box. Personally I think it's a great version, just having all
my customers and suppliers on the desktop and being able to click on
any transaction is a huge improvement.

Excellent.
Thankyou for the update Jo.
I think it's something I will have to do sooner rather than later as I
can't do so many things on my windows vista <spit> PC

Thanks again Jo.
Cheers
Pete

One simple solution is to give your QB 2004 data file to your accountant
and ask him/her to update it to version 2007, 2008 or 2009 for you. I am
not certain but perhaps Intuit supplies a demo version of 2007 or 2008 that
can be used just for this purpose.

I do find it quite surprising that version 2009 can only upgrade from
version 2007 on up. My gut tells me that you do not know what you are taking
about. I am certain the experts on this newsgroup that have invested in
version 2009 can verify this.
