Migratre 2.3.3 to 2.2.9

[Phil Longstaff]

Open 2.3.3.  Select File -> Save As.  In the drop down box, select XML, then enter a file name.  That should give you a file you can open with 2.2.9.  Note that the currency problem may follow this procedure, so in 2.2.9, re-assign the currencies.

Thanks Phil for your answer.
 
Is it possible to migrate a 2.3.3 database to 2.2.9?

Hi,
>
>2.3.X are an *unstable* series of releases leading to a stable release in a few months.  If you want to help with testing, feel free to use 2.3.X.  If you want a stable version for your personal expenses, you should remove 2.3.X and install 2.2.9.

>Version 2.3.4 contains a fix for the currency problem.  It also contains large changes to the database table structure, and does not automatically convert from previous versions, so if you want to continue to use 2.3.X, you will need to delete your db and recreate it.
