This trick really saved me! On another note if you're downgrading from Quickbooks Enterprise to the Desktop version you will need to delete the first two lines in the iif files. Thanks Again!

Thank you for this video. The trick showing how to open Tech Support menu is invaluable!

[kristiemertz]

Thanks so much! I was able to export my transactions and import them into a new company file (effectively the last step to merge two company files.) Huge help! :-)

great video, that short key to access support menu is priceless, i have this question by mistake some transactions where created on a company file instead of the correct company file for near 2 months, if there a way to export the transactions created on the wrong file to be imported into the correct file? i will appreciate any suggestion to adjust the correct company file with the missing transactions

It's very helpful ! Do you know if we can export only some periods of the company file ? For instance, the company file data is from Jan 2018 to April 2019 and we need only the data from January to April 2019 .

Hi Hector - new subscriber - great informative video and tip about the help menu. I'm at the point of importing the IIF files and keep getting failed errors. I dont know what it wants me to fix.

Do you know what would happen if you import to a new company that has already been in use? Same company different EIN different states.

Did you find the way to export payroll and payments? Actually I want all data to be imported to another software I.e., Odoo

[vidyavenkat]

Thank you, that was helpful! I wonder if this would work if we are moving to QB file without classes from the QB file with classes, the rest all the same.

It doesn't work where entries in the previous QB have another currency. Eg my company is in EUR and I have transactions in USD (therefore I've input the USD/EUR rate on previous while recording entries). However, when I migrated data in the new QB, it took the entries in USD and disregarded the rates. Can you please help? Thank you.
