QuickBooks Not Backwards Compatible

Marie asks:

I am a student taking a class in QuickBooks Pro 2004. The textbook is by Janet Horne. The computers at school have the 2004 software loaded. My question is if I purchase QuickBooks Pro 2005 and install on my home computer are the 2 versions compatible when I work on my problems at school and I backup from 2004, and then take home and restore to 2005, or if I reverse and backup at home and restore at school will this work? Thanks for your help.

Answer:

Simply put, no you can’t. Once your data is upgraded, you will no longer be able to use it on an earlier edition.
