Hi, I don't know whether it will be relevant but my collage used to sent me "companies" to training on and my sage (instant Account) went crazy. I even asked for help on this forum. In the end I e - mail sage support and they explained to me, that most likely I try to open data from Sage line 50 on my Instant account. And there was way (not very easy though) to do it.... http://www.book-keepers.org.uk/t48808233/sage-v14-problem-help-pleas/ go straight to the last post However I DO NOT KNOW Whether it'll work for older version...... Maybe guys in Sage will know, I found them very helpful on this occasion..... Good luck
