Question

We have installed QBPro99 version R1. A client has version R2. If we upgrade to R3 will we be able to load & return to clients R1 & R2 version data files?

Answer

In QuickBooks version 99, R2 changes the file format. R3 keeps the same format as R2. So, R2 and R3 are "compatible", but R1 is a different format. The only solution is to have your clients upgrade with you. They want to anyway, since there are bug fixes. Have them go to the online menu and choose QuickBooks update service.
