I have created the Chart of Accounts for a very complicated partnership on FN already. No transactions posted yet, no balances entered. However, the file is named AAA_2000.
What I want to do is, to start the company as AAA_99 on 12/30/99 with cost basis balances, then update security prices with 12/31/99 date, then "Start New Year" and post all 2000 transactions.
How do I change the existing AAA_2000 to AAA_1999?

1. Back up AAA_2000 onto a floppy.
2. Open the AAA_2000 data. Select Utilities and "Begin a New Year".
3. In "new years data will be created on", type in [path name]\AAA_1999 ("Back up current years data to" can be anything - remember you have a floppy back up so you can always restore this data.)
4. In the Begin New Year Options dialog box, in the Tax Year box, type in year ending 1999.
5. The "new year" data files will now be on AAA_1999 and will be for 1999.
