updated from Peachtree 2005 to 2006 and lost my customer forms

Sounds like you probably installed the 2006 program into a different folder than the 2005. The easiest way is to restore a backup, but choose to restore ONLY the forms. If that doesn't work, you'll have to manually locate the forms in the old data location and copy them to the new location. All forms end with .FRM and custom forms have a number less than 1000. The first three characters indicate the form type, so APC01130 is a standard AP check but APC00003 is a customized one.

One other thought....are you on a network? If so, make sure your data path is pointing to the right location in the .ini file. If it is set incorrectly, the forms might not be available.

restore a backup, forms only
