Converting to MS Office Accounting 2007 Pro with Business Contact Manager 2007
Well this years action pack came from MS. We’ve upgraded all the office computers to Office Enterprises 2007.
Next step is to convert from Quickbooks 2005 and Commence as our mish mash of CRM and Billing systems to a more stream lined Microsoft solution. Since my SBS is not R2 and uses SQL2000 I’m going to host the BCM/Acounting database on a workstation until I upgrade the server.
So here;s the step by step:
- Install Office 2007 Enterprise edition.
- Pick the "main" workstation where the DB is going to sit.
- Make sure you are an administrator on the machine you are using.
- Copy the QB datafile on to the local computer.
- install Office Accounting 2007
- Select import Quickbooks data
- sit and wait. Its hour 4 now and it hasnt finished a 64MB .qbw
