We all know that to convert tally data from 7.2 to 8.1 Tally is providing a data migration utility with Tally 8.1. You can get more details about migrating Data in my previous post How to migrate Data from Tally 7.2 to Tally 8.1. or Get the FAQ’s on data migration.
But what if you have data in Tally 4.5 and you want to convert it to Tally 7.2 or 8.1. For this first of all you have to convert the data into initial 5.4 format from where it can be migrated to Tally 8.1.
A free utility is available on Tally’s Site which would convert data from Tally 4.5 to Tally 7.2 . It is called Convert45to72.exe .You can get this utility Here from Tally Solutions’s Site.
Simply unzip the file. You would find three files.
WCVTALLY.EXE
TW45250.DLL
CNVTALLY.DAT
WCVTALLY.EXE
TW45250.DLL
CNVTALLY.DAT
Copy these files to directory of Tally 4.5.
Now run the utility by clicking on file WCVTALLY.exe and convert the companies one by one. After converting all companies you would see different folders are created . Copy these folders to the directory where your Tally 7.2 is installed. Open Tally 7.2 and rewrite the companies you want to open in Tally7.2. Wollah !!! the process is complete.
Before migrating data make sure to take backups of files. so that in case of data corruption you can recover it.
