How to perform a data conversion from a prior version
Description
Cause

Some Sage 50 Accounting upgrades change how the program processes data.  The Data Conversion Wizard automatically converts your company data the first time you open your company in the new version.

Resolution
  1. Open Sage 50.
  2.  Click Open an existing company, select your company and click OK. 
    •  NOTE: If your data isn’t on this computer, restore a backup as a New Company.
  3. The Data Conversion Wizard – Introduction window will appear; click Next.
  4. Confirm the company to convert, and click Next.
  5. In the Back Up Existing Company Information window, click the Back Up button and then click Save.
  6. Once you’ve saved your backup, click the Next button.
  7. Data conversion will start. Don't interrupt the process. 
  8. Once the conversion is complete, the Conversion Completed window will appear: click Finish.
