The chart of accounts beginning balances must be set for the
preceding month—September 1 through 30, 2009. See Entering
Chart of Accounts Beginning Balances text pages 283 through 288.
Specifically, review steps 2, 3, and 4 on pages 285-286.
The businesses that you set up in Chapter 9 are continued in
Chapter 10.
Remember to use a unique name for the businesses that you set up
in Chapter 9. For example, you may use your first and last name to
identify these businesses.
When a company is set up in Peachtree, a shortened named is
assigned for that company; for example, the shortened company
name for Daniel Mason Designer is danmasde. The hard drive
location of Daniel Mason Designer is C:Program FilesSage
Software Peachtree Companydanmasde. (If a unique name is
used, the shortened company name will differ.)

 You can restore to an existing company—one that is previously set
up—or restore a new company, bypassing the process of creating a
new company. The Restore Wizard includes two options on the
Select Company window: An Existing Company and A New
Company. If A New Company is selected, then the company will be
named the same as the backup file selected.
 Let’s say you want to restore a backup file for a company that is not
set up in Peachtree; for example, a back up file exists but the
company is not shown as a Peachtree company.
 If you start Peachtree and the appropriate company cannot be
opened, use the Restore Wizard to select A New Company. Using
the appropriate backup file, and the selection for A New Company,
you can start where you left off the last time Peachtree was used.
