ABC6 Payroll can't Import

[abctech]

Some users report that when trying to Import the data from ABC5 Payroll, their ABC6 Payroll gives an error message when almost at the end of the process. This is caused by it not finding a file in ABC5 containing the default answers to the End Of Year P35 return. We have now fixed the program (told it to ignore the file if it doesn't exist). But a quick workaround is for you to just go into ABC5 Payroll > Print Reports > Year End > Create Internet Export File. You can enter any dummy data into the fields.

This will create the missing file, and then ABC6 is happy to Import the ABC5 data. (All it does is create a small text file -- nothing else).
