Hi,
I have migrated my firm from PSF financials to Sage 200 (not my choice :-() but we have a contract in place for the former for 6 months notice and even the one user archive licence after 6 months notice is ridiculously expensive. My thoughts are then to dump to the entire ledgers into Excel and then rid. On second thoughts I'm thinking that's a bit extreme in terms of ease of reference access etc.
Are there any other methods of storing old electronic accounting records that everybody can still access for a while?
Thanks in advance
Matthew

probably Excel
I think it worth dumping to Excel. In the past we changed tax software that prevented you from accessing the old data when your licence had expired. What I found was that I could read data via notepad, but that was a bit hit and miss and you had to guess which record to look at. So that would lead me back to the Excel dump.
ODBC Data tables
Do you have any ODBC data tables set up.
I feel sure these would continue to work.
I use Sage 200 - I am sure you will get to like it.
