Saving data before upgrading to 2.4.0

[David Halverson]

Bob,

I just uninstalled the old version and installed 2.4 as I'm still in the
tryout phase and wasn't worried about losing the data :-)  My data is still
all there in C:\Users\<username> - if you want to be doubly sure backup the
files in this directory.

Cheers Dave.

(My apologies for sending this twice. I accidentally sent it the first time
from another account, which needs moderator approval.)

I'm running 2.3.9 on Windows 7. I downloaded gnucash-2.4.0-setup.exe.
There was a warning on the download page saying that I "should uninstall any
earlier GnuCash version...prior to installing 2.4.0." How do I preserve all
the data I've already entered into gnucash over the years?


I say "years" because I've been using gnucash on Ubuntu for several years
now. When I decided to do my financial stuff on Windows 7, I simply copied
the files from my Ubuntu installation.
