Step #9 – Existing RealData files #

Any files that you have already created using our software are NOT affected by the upgrade.  Only the blank master file gets updated.

If you have REIA Pro or Personal Financial Statement, you can use our “Import” tool to copy the data from an existing file into the new master template.  View instructions here for REIA Pro and for Personal Financial Stmt.

For other programs, you will need to manually copy over the data from the older file to the new template.
