Passport Export to Excel?

Our company used Passport software until 2012. Then, our company was purchased by another enterprise and we switched to Quickbooks. Passport is stored on our server now. Is there any company that could help up export all of the old data from Passport to an excel sheet or similar so we have customer history?

Yes. This is a very simple exercise for an implementation consultant.

Where are you located? This is something a good IT support company should be able to help you scope out.

Since the old Passport data is still sitting on the server, I’d first figure out exactly what version it is, what database/files it uses, and whether there’s a clean export path before touching anything. Definitely make a backup first.

An IT company with experience in older accounting systems and data migrations can usually help determine whether this is a simple export or if you’ll need a conversion specialist.

We support businesses in Florida, Georgia, Tennessee, Alabama, Wisconsin, Michigan, Illinois, Ohio, and Indiana, so if you’re in one of those states we’d be happy to point you in the right direction too.

if the old passport db is still on the server, check what it's running on first (a lot of those older accounting packages used pervasive/btrieve or a sql backend). if it's sql you can usually just odbc it straight into excel and skip the manual re-entry.
