This information applies only if you're upgrading from AccountRight Classic (v19 or earlier).
Upgrading is a two-part process that involves first installing the new software version, then upgrading your company file to use with the new software. When you upgrade your company file, the records and transactions within your file are copied into a format that will work with the new software version.
There may also be some additional upgrade tasks that you need to do, depending on what features you use in your current version.
Do I need to upgrade every time AccountRight changes?
No. When you install future AccountRight updates, your file will update automatically.
Before you upgrade
Before you upgrade your company file, note the following:
- If your cards or items are set up with pictures. Pictures must be saved in a subfolder called Graphics, which is in the same location as the company file you are upgrading. For example, if the file you are upgrading is located at: C:\Plus19, then make sure the pictures are in a folder C:\Plus19\Graphics.
If the pictures are not in this folder when you upgrade, you will need to manually add them to your records again. Also, images over 200KB in size will not successfully import.
