157968 2003-07-06 22:56:00 Looking for a copy of QuickBooks Ver.5 or 5.5 to read back up files from a business I had 5 years ago.
QuickBooks NZ or (Intuit the software designer) do not have copies of versions that old. Their suggestion is to buy the latest versions, retail $299, simply to read my backup files.
Even the latest trial versions of the software from the PC World CD will not read the files. Is there another way?

For one I would like to know where you can buy their latest version for that amount because I paid over $300 for version 7.5 or are you talking upgrade.
For another to upgrade from 5 to 7 you had to use a stand alone program to do the conversion so I am not sure how the conversion would go from 5 to 2000 or what ever the latest is now.

157971 2003-07-08 02:14:00 I also have Quicken Version 3 for windows if this would be any help.
The programme is in two floppy disks and I am currently using it in windows XP to do the finances for a club.

157972 2003-07-08 04:11:00 The trouble is Quicken would not be able to open QuickBooks files. mikebartnz (21)
157973 2003-07-08 08:26:00 thanks for the offer of Quicken but as Mikebartnz said, it won't open Quickbooks files.
For Mikebartnz, the $299 was for an upgrade version.
Just out of interest though, for any queries on the Software one has to pay $35 per query from the distributor, and this they tell you on the answer phone, with a request to have your credit card ready.
