Converting Existing Company Data
The company data conversion is used only for companies that used prior
releases of Peachtree Complete Accounting (for Windows), Peachtree
Accounting, or First Accounting. This process does not convert company data
from Peachtree Complete Accounting for DOS. The MS-DOS conversion
requires a separate utility available from Peachtree Software. To order the
Peachtree Complete Accounting for DOS conversion utility, please call

Before You Begin
Before you proceed in converting your data, we recommend you turn off all
screen savers, disable virus-protection software, and close all other
applications. This will speed up the conversion and avoid any errors.

Also, make sure you have ample hard-disk space available where your data is
located before converting your company. The conversion may require up to
2.5 times the size of your company data to convert successfully depending on
the version you are converting. For example, if your company is 2 MB, you
should make sure 6 MB of hard-disk space is free. This does not mean your
company will triple in size. Peachtree uses the extra space temporarily while
converting.
