I just installed Quicken 2009 Premier, let it upgrade itself to R3, and let it convert my existing 2008 file to its new format.
The result was catastrophic. The last month or so of the transactions were gone, and a new credit card account that I had added was gone.
So I restored my backup, which I had made just before installation of the 2009 version. It installed it, converted it to the new format, and fixed the problems I mentioned above.
I had some similar problems with Quicken 2008, when I installed upgrades to it, and that was the main reason I bought 2009. Is the same true with 2009? Is it perhaps a problem with my data file, rather than with the software? Might it happen again the next time there's a software upgrade to 2009? Is there a good way to fix the problem?
Suggestions and advice would be appreciated.
