It is some time since I entered all my information into v2.3 and have done little since. I have some new information I would like to enter and would like to upgrade to v5, but... will I be able to copy the information from v2.3 (which is on an XP computer) and enter it onto v5 on my new Windows7 computer? Grateful for any help and/or clarification.

When it comes to moving from your old
XP PC to a new
Win 7 PC I advise using
Windows Easy Transfer.
If you have already passed that point then, the
How to Move Settings referred to above will help you out.
This is part of a general
