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 
1-800-247-3224.
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.
In some cases your company data may increase in size after the conversion.
Starting the Data Conversion
To begin the conversion process, follow these instructions:
1
Open your company by selecting Open Company from the File menu.
If your company is in a prior format (Peachtree Complete Accounting, 
Peachtree Accounting, or First Accounting), a Conversion window will 
display. You have three options: Backup, Continue, and Cancel.
2
Select Backup to begin the process of making a backup of your company 
data prior to conversion. Once the backup is complete, you return to the 
Conversion window.
