We did however create an import utility that will port the majority, but not all the data to the newer version. Every effort on our part was made to import all the information that we could. With the Microsoft Access Database version we redesigned much of the databases to provide more meaningful names to tables and fields. In some rare cases some of the information again could not be fully ported to the new version. However, be insured that all the most vital information will still be there in both new releases.
