Upgrade QB Pro 99 to QB Pro 2006

I've inherited a client who has QB Pro 99 and needs to upgrade to QB Pro



2006 (quite a leap). Does anyone know if there are any anticipated problems with this or will it be as simple as installing over QB 99 (or doing a parallel install of QB 2006) and then QB 2006 will transfer and convert the QB 99 database? The workstation is WinXP Pro and exceeds the minimum system requirements for QB Pro 2006.

Thanks for any help or thoughts.

If the conversion DOESN'T work, you can download "trial" copies of earlier versions of QB and convert/convert/convert until you get current.

In Canada, any intermediate versions that may be required for a multi-step conversion are included on the CD.

My wife's business just made the even bigger leap from QuickBooks Basic 5.0 to QuickBooks PRO 2006 without any problems, that we have observed. As suggested, we kept backups of the old Company File and left the old version of QuickBooks installed on the Windows XP Home Edition machine she uses, although it would already be very painful to try to go back. The timing seemed right for her small business. The local Sam's Club had QB PRO 2006 for $160 (Including sales tax) and we got the $80 rebate offer for registered users upgrading from any version of QB Basic (which has been discontinued) to QB PRO

2006. So far, so good on the rebate. About 2 weeks after mailing the claim, the Rebate Center reported that "A check request for $80.00 is being processed" and the Error(s) field reported "None".
