Migrating from Peachtree 2009 to Sage 50 2014

SUGGESTED

I have been using Sage Peachtree 2009 for a number of years but have been having issues with it now that I am running on Windows 8, which it was not designed for.  So I have installed Sage 50 Pro 2014.  How do I import the data from the old program to the new?  The import wizard has lots of competitors programs that it can import (Quickbooks, Quicken, MYOB) but no mention of other Sage products.  The Peachtree backup files are a .ptb extension which doesn't seem to be recognized by Sage 50 - it is looking for either .sim or .cab.

Any help appreciated.

    Peachtree is a US product.  It sounds like you have purchased the Canadian version of Sage 50.  The two are not compatible, sorry.  You cannot convert the one to the other by opening it.  You will have to create a brand new file with just opening balances and see if you can import the ledgers using the help files.  Either that or if your intention was to purchase the US version of Sage 50, then you should call Sage on Monday.
