QuickBooks introduces conversion tools for defunct Microsoft Office Accounting
Posted by AccountingWEB in Technology, Quickbooks, Accounting & Auditing on 11/17/2009 - 02:24
Intuit is extending a helping hand to small businesses affected by the discontinuation of Microsoft Office Accounting, the small business accounting software alternative to programs like QuickBooks. Effective this week, Microsoft Office Accounting is no longer being distributed.
The QuickBooks maker is providing a free conversion tool that will help former Microsoft Office Accounting users seamlessly transfer their small business accounting data to QuickBooks products.
The free QuickBooks Conversion Tooleasily imports business data, balances, and transactions so customers can continue running their businesses without missing a beat. It converts data from Microsoft Small Business Accounting and Office Accounting products through the 2009 versions into QuickBooks Pro, Premier, and Enterprise Solutions editions.
The conversion tool can also convert Microsoft Office Accounting Express to QuickBooks Simple Start 2010. The tool includes a short and straightforward setup process, moving all data into a newly created QuickBooks file, leaving existing data untouched.
“We are committed to helping small businesses be as successful as possible,” said Kiran Patel, executive vice president and general manager of Intuit’s Small Business Group. “We know that many Microsoft customers will soon be looking for new accounting software so they can keep on top of their finances. The QuickBooks team will take them through the transition and help them streamline critical accounting tasks and connect to new online services as soon as possible.”
Assistance in Making the Transition
Intuit representatives are available at 1-866-676-9668 to assist Microsoft customers in making the transition and to provide advice on which QuickBooks product will best support their business. Further information is also available at the QuickBooks Web site.

Doesn't work
I am a computer Consultant and have MANY customers who use Microsoft Office Accounting and are needing to Convert to another product.
I purchased PRO 2010 and downloaded the conversion tool. It did not work. I tried it on several computers and it failed everywhere.
My file works great in Office Accounting and there have been no error using the product for several years.
I contacted technical support and they were very helpful. They could not get it to work either. They stated the problem is on my computer. I told them that I had tried it on several computers and that I am a computer consultant with MANY years of experience. They still insisted that the problem is on my end.
Thier only solution is for me to send them my file and pay them $50 to do a converstion for me.
So I just bought the software, and no I have to pay an extra $50 just to use it with my data.
DONT TRUST THIS TOOL!
