Help! My loan manager files are gone!

How can this be?  I just upgraded to a new computer and now all of my loans in the Loan Manager feature are gone!

In QuickBooks 2006 and earlier versions, you must run the backup function and manually copy some additional files to ensure you have everything you need.  Here is how you do it:

To move the company files to a new computer:

1. Create a backup of the file. Click file>backup; backup to your memory stick.
2. Additionally, manually copy the following files onto a memory stick:  Loan Manager files: .LMR (generally located in the same folder as the company file)
3. Restore the backup on the new computer. You must have QuickBooks installed on the new computer before you can restore the company file there.
4. After restoring the backup, copy the files you copied in step 2 to the same folders on the new computer.
