All report formats are lost when upgrading from QM2007 or from QWin to new QMac. Please add the ability to carry forward all report formats.
Your VOTES matter!
This feature would help address several issues/scenarios:
- migrating from QM2007
- migrating from QWin to QMac
- ability to export and re-import report formats when as a troubleshooting approach, all transactions from a data file are exported into a new data file
used to resolve some internal database problems.
(I myself have about 80 memorized reports. Recreating them would be a huge undertaking, from setting up, to testing, to validation. Of course, it requires that QMac have the corresponding report format to be able to carry them forward.)
This feature could be incorporated into this IDEA or be a separate feature:
Add Ability to Select Content of QXF File for Export
This has been requested MANY times in the forum, from both QMac users AND QWin users. The following are just a few samples of requests that support Requests for ability to import existing saved reports:

Also it would require the ability to only export only reports from QWin. I do not think that is currently an option.
So, I suspect, if they do build this, it would be limited to new converts from Windows to Mac.

I guess it is time for me to find another program at this point that if I am going to have to recreate all my info again, one that will be more proactive to its clients who are the ones that purchases and supports their products. Sad but done living in the dark ages with my finances.
How is this an obsolete concept? Is migrating data from QM2007 an obsolete concept? Clearly it is not, so why is migrating reports obsolete?
Or for that matter, is migrating from QWin to QMac an obsolete concept? Clearly that is not either. Yet this idea encompasses migration from either.
Also, there a troubleshooting approach where exporting all transactions from a data file into a new data file is used to resolve some internal database problems. This causes all reports to be lost. With the above feature, it would be possible to export and re-import report formats too and not lose all that work.
Saying it has something to do with moving to Subscription is a red herring.
This does not add up. Please clarify.
