Transferring fron Offline to Online

I have been using the offline version for years for a number of bookkeeping clients. (Version 3.9.8d)
I'm considering transferring to the online version for one of the larger clients.
1. Can I transfer the data from the off line version to the online version for this client & if so, how?
2. As this larger client's file is now slow due to the number of transactions will the online version become slow as the number of transactions become large?
3. Can I still continue to use the offline version for the small clients side by side with the online version?

Thanks for your interest in Solar Accounts Online! To answer your questions:

  1. Yes, it's very easy to import your existing data when you set up your business - just follow these steps:

  2. Sorry no, the online version is not any faster for businesses with a large number of transactions. The simplest approach would be to create a new business file at the start of the next financial year.

  3. Yes, the online version of Solar Accounts is a completely separate program to the old offline version - they can both run simultaneously on screen without any problems. You can manage one business in the online version and the rest in the offline version.

Regards,
