I have some small business friends currently using Classic 13.0.

They have purchased Premium Accounting 2008.

How does one convert the Classic 13.0 files to the Premium Accounting 2008 files. I have zero knowledge about accounting, as I just take care of their office and shop computers.

They were told at first that the conversion was simple, and then later, that there was an intervening version of Peachtree between Clasiic 13.0 and PA 2008, and a conversion was not possible, and the issue was left there, apparently insoluble.

That's probably not true, but they need to get iinformation on how to go about making a conversion. I signed up here to get some suggestions, or direction, as to how this needs to be done.

For example, could I make this conversion with only general computer knowledge? Does it need an accounting expert to make the change? Assuming it requires extra knowledge to make such a change, what would such an approximate cost be?

As it is they have made an investment in a software that is currently unusable, so they need to have an understanding of what additional costs may accrue by getting outside help. It helps in making the decision to scrap the s/w or continue.

Thank you.
Sandy

Peachtree Classic 13.0 data can be converted to Peachtree 2007 (Windows) or older. The data once converted to Peachtree 2007 or older can be upgraded to Peachtree 2008 or newer. Please note that Peachtree 2010 is the current release with Peachtree 2011 being released in late May.

Your client would be well served to have a qualified Peachtree Consultant perform the data conversion to the interim Peachtree product and then converted to Peachtree 2008 or newer and delivered back to the client in timely manner.

You can contact the host of this website re data conversion services and / or send an e-mail off line to develop this subject further.
