I want to experiment with a company file, so I made a copy of the file, opened it, and changed the company information. That changed the name displayed at the top of the window, but when I do a backup of the new company file, QB insists on namng the backp file the same company name as the original. How do I change that?
Only way I have found, close QB, use windows explorer and find the company files that you copied, one at at time change the file name to TEST
then open QB and use file open to find and open the new test file
I renamed the company files and opened the new company file name from the open file menu. That didn't resolve the problem. In fact, now I'm oncertain about which file I'll get. To remove that uncertainty, I'm going to delete everything and restore from a backup.
Suggestions are still welcome, though, since I still want to accomplish the spilt.
Lets start from scratch then
in windows explorer create a new folder called QB-test
Copy the company files to that new folder
In that folder rename the files to test test
open QB and use file open, and navigate to that new folder and open the test test company file, use the menu company>company info and change the name to TEST TEST
then I like to open preferences and under desktop select an ugly color scheme to make it even more obvious
Thank you, Rustler. I had to open the new file a couple of times before it completely stuck, but it seems to be working alright now.
