Lost Data

the company I am working for is using peachtree 2006 Complete accounting. The program is great it has some funky funktions but otherwise I am okay with it. Here is the story I reconciliet my Bank Statements ...... So now after checking everything for the audit I figuerd out that all my work is gone or changed. Like I have the printed version of my reconciliation form with a different of 0 how it should be. Now it is totally crazy the amount of my outstanding checks changed it is totally different to that what I balanced month ago.

More dramatic is that all the checks I checked as cleared showing up us uncleared now. My boss told me that there was many crashes over the last years before I started working there.

Does somebody has an Idea or also bad experiences with Peachtree 2006

- Should I upgrade to 2007 or better getting a full new version and start over again???

It sounds like you may have some data corruption lurking in the sidelines.

Did the problems show up right after closing a prior fiscal year? The loss of data in the bank rec screen after a year end close is a common problem with Peachtree. It happened to one of my client's 2004 Complete version a couple of years ago.

Run the data verification tool found under the File menu. Make sure you make a backup before running this. This will check for problems and fix some common ones.

Another tool is the Integrity Check. Read the help file on this tool before using it.

If there are problems with the 2006 file upgrading the file to 2007 will just carry the problems forward. Fixing the data problems should be done before upgrading. There is nothing wrong with the 2006 Complete version so I would recommend continuing with it for another year or 2.

We're so close to the beginning of the year that it might be worth the effort to start a new company file that is based off of the 12/31/06 trial balance.
