Converting a QuickBooks Company
When converting a QuickBooks company, Peachtree will prompt you to 
locate your QuickBooks company data file (*.QBW). Peachtree will read 
information from this data file and create a new company in the Peachtree 
Accounting format.
Peachtree Accounting conversion does not change your QuickBooks data file. 
It creates a new set of data files and places them in the Peachtree Accounting 
data path.
Stepping Through the Conversion Process
To convert a QuickBooks company, do the following: 
1
If your QuickBooks company is open, close it or exit the QuickBooks 
application.
2
Start Peachtree Accounting.

You can begin the conversion process two ways:
From the Peachtree Accounting Startup Screen: Select the “Convert 
a Quickbooks company to Peachtree Accounting” option. The Open 
Company window displays. If the Startup Screen does not appear 
when initially starting Peachtree Accounting, select View Startup 
Screen from the Options menu. Then, restart Peachtree Accounting.
 
Note
Select this option to
convert QuickBooks
data to Peachtree
Accounting.
