Did you do a separate Accounting Backup, or are you trying to restore only the accounting data from a full backup of the entire database?

If its just an accounting backup you go to Utilities -> Backup & Restore then click the radio button for Restore[/i[, and follow the prompts.

If you're trying to restore from a Full Backup .. that's a major proposition, that you may want to call the support line directly on as there are interrelated files that, if not restored with the rest, could cause major issues.

I always advise that a Full Backup is done weekly by setting up the Windows Task Manager to automate that backup. But that the Accounting files be backed up weekly by the bookkeeper/treasurer separately, with a copy sent offsite.

Thank you. It was just accounting data. Worked just fine following the prompts. :D
