Yes, this is the article that I found.  It is not clear whether I first install all of my previous year software and then restore client data and BasWinYY files or whether the restored BasWinYY files have to already be in place when the install is run for that year.  Also, since my old computer is dead, I have to rely on file backups from my external disk drive which were not created from within the ProSeries Basic software.

It would be good to know if the entire BasWinYY folder could be restored for each year as opposed to renaming 14 files inside the folder and then just copying those 14 files from the backup, for each year.  It seems like restoring the whole BasWinYY folder would better insure that nothing is missed in the restore but maybe that is just wishful thinking on my part.

Again I will do whatever has to be done, I just want to make sure that I get each year right the first time.

Thank you for your response.
