Convert Data Files to the Current Level

If you are upgrading your system from Level 3.x and have migrated your system files using the Migrate Level 3 Data Wizard, you must now convert the migrated data to the current level using Company Maintenance. The Migrate Level 3 Data Wizard copied your data files to a default folder, and now you must convert the files to the current level.

Note You can include Payroll files in a separate folder for security. For more information, see Modify Company Preferences.
