upgrade from non-working version |
|
|
I have been using 2000 home and business for several years without
problem. Thankfully backing up continually. Tonight my 2000 froze up,
screens come up, but entering a check amount doesnt deduct the amount
from the balance, scheduled transactions can't be processed, etc.
Normally I would simply uninstall quicken and reinastall it. However,
I figured this was a good time to upgrade to 2006 home and business.
Big questions. can I do a clean install of 2006 H&B and simply restore
the data from my back up files? I'm afraid I know the answer, but am
hoping someone will say "sure, no problem"
Or do I have to get 2000 working again before upgrading to 2006?
Thanks,
Frank

I once had a similar problem, where I couldn't get any new data entered into
the program. Turned out that I was working with the file on a USB thumb drive
which was full. Once I copied it to my hard drive, everything went back to
normal.
HTH,

Your problem doesn't sound to me like a problem that will be
solved by reinstalling; rather it sounds like a data problem.
And if that's true, converting to a newer version probably has a
better chance of making matters worse than of making them
better. I would try Validating a Quicken "copy" of my data
first ... if that doesn't help perhaps super-validating ... if
that doesn't help then maybe reverting to a backup.

Provided that the problem is with the program and not with your file
set, you'd be just fine to uninstall the Q2000 then clean-install
Q2006 and use your saved files. Quicken should convert the files to a
Q06 format. Please, report back to us your progress. |

Yes, please do. If anyone were to try this, it probably is much better if
it is not I :)

Re: upgrade from non-working version |

Thanks a million, validating the backed up data file found an error,
corrected it and now all is well. Now the big decision is wether or
not to upgrade to 2006. they say if it an't broke, dont fix it, but
the software is over 5 years old.... .
If I do decide to upgrade, is it better to uninstall my previous
version of quicken and simply restore my data files from backup or is
it best to install the new version over the old version. ( I haven't
bought the new version yet, so I can't read the instruction.(yet).
Thanks again
Frank

If you install Q2006, you will have no choice; Q2006 will not
install if there is another version of Quicken present. It will
ask you to let it uninstall the previous version or quit.
