New Account file creation

Quoting from a reply Derek Atkins made recently on another thread:

... File -> Export Accounts  makes a copy of
the existing Chart of Accounts in a new book that you can then File ->
Open.  From there you need to manually create your opening balances.
Note that this does NOT copy any business objects, so you will lose all
your customers, vendors, employees, and associated invoices, bills, and
vouchers.

Others mention using the Balance Sheet report to obtain the balances to use as Opening Balances.

HTH,
David

Subject: New Account file creation
 
Having had my accounts running for a few years I would like to start a new
file this year.
Please can someone advise me the most efficient way to start a new file for
a new year, using the same account hierarchy as my current file and
initialising using the balances in my current file on a specified date.
many Thanks
Norman Bearon
