Buy nowI was self-employed for several years in the past, ending in 2004. I saved a QBW file from that time and would like to open the file to view its contents. However, I no longer have or use Quickbooks. Is there some way that I can view the file contents?
Any help would be appreciated.
Regards,
Frank
