Hi, we are trying to upgrade from a 2002 to 2018 Canadian Pro Desktop Version.  Can someone please tell me which intermediate versions of QuickBooks that we need and where to download them?  Thank you in advance for your help.

You will need to upgrade in 4-5 steps to open your file on QuickBooks CA 2018. Unfortunately it is difficult to find the installer of older CA version. I would suggest to call and ask Intuit Data Service to convert your file. Otherwise, consider purchasing a 3rd party conversion service.

Hi Plung, thank you for replying. 

 

We have tried Data Recovery Service before.  After we got the 2018 company file back, we are able  to view the data, but having trouble enter new transactions.  At that time, I haven't joined the non-profit organization to help, so the bookkeeper continues to use the 2002 version.

 

I have successfully upgraded company file through intermediate version before.  Just forgot which year I did it on and also cannot find the links to download the previous versions.

Company only provides the recent versions in their site

If you don't mind, send a private message to me regarding the name of service provider who have  converted your file earlier.
