I am trying to upgrade from QuickBooks Plus 2012-2013 to Reckon Accounts Accounting Small Business Edition 2020. When I try to open the QBW file or restore QBB file I get "Reckon Accounts cannot open the data file because it was created in a different edition. You can only open Reckon Accounts Accounting data files within this edition

    Hi Mary - Reckon Accounts Accounting is a "lower" version of Reckon than Plus - hence the reason the datafile cannot be "downgraded" from Plus - Not sure where you purchased the Accounting version from - but your choices now are to switch to Plus - or to start a new datafile.
