Expert: Karin Hostetler Date: 5/15/2008 Subject: Simple Start conversion
Question Do I need to prepare a backup copy of my Simple Start transactions in order to transfer to QBP?
Thanks
Answer Hi Jamie,
You should always do a backup before any conversion. As a matter of habit, you should be backing up regularly (ie at least once a week).
Quickbooks will also have you back up when you open the file, but a full back up with the integrity verified is a good idea. This will prevent any possible loss of data if there is a glitch of any sort during your conversion.
Hope this helps.
Karin
