How to Update Your Company File After Upgrading QuickBooks
his article contains instructions on how to update your QuickBooks company file to your current version of the QuickBooks software.
Upgrading the QuickBooks software does not automatically update your QuickBooks company files. You will need to manually update your company files if you have upgraded to a newer version of QuickBooks.
To update a company file after an upgrade, simply open the company file as Admin and then let the QuickBooks Company File Update Wizard guide you through the process.
**Note that only the QuickBooks Admin user can update a QuickBooks file, so please be sure to have the QuickBooks Admin credentials prior to updating a company file. Once the file is updated by the Admin user, it will be updated for all users and this process will not need to be repeated.
