We are using Windows 11.  You cannot open a 25/26 version file within the 24/25 version program.   All of the data we restored was from backing up in the 24/25 software version.

Do you have any backups from the 2024/2025 version?  Maybe you can start there and then rework whatever you've done since then?  I know it may be an incredible amount of work.  I think this is where the whole 'better to deal with the devil you know than to deal with the devil you don't know' comes into play for a lot of us.  I think the problem with switching to new software is I haven't found one yet that has the ability to transfer information from Easy ACCT to a new program.

I too have been using this software since the 90's.  I think most of us here are diehards.  I wish we would be appreciated for the years of loyalty we have provided this program - plus all of the money we have invested each year which has skyrocketed in the last decade.
