Help upgrading from 2002 to 2008

I have a friend who is current with Quicken 2002. He has the disc for



2008 but is wondering if there are any things to watch out for when doing the update to 2008 from 2002. Please advise, so I can pass the word along to my friend, who is in poor health, or he would ask himself. Well, not ask himself, he'd ask you folks...know what I mean?

Tell your friend to backup twice to CD or flashdrive or ??? something NOT on his/her computer, label one backup as "2002, DO NOT TOUCH" or somesuch.

Then install 2008 and use the other backup for the new install. If there are problems he/she can uninstall 2008, re-install 2002 and then use the first backup to restore the files.

NOTE: Quicken will save the old 2002 files for you but I've never really trusted that and it can't hurt to have another backup, can it?
