14 July 2009 I dont think that it is possible. Uppen version not allowed to open in lower versions in Tally.

03 August 2024 Migrating data from Tally 9 to Tally 7.2 is challenging and generally not feasible due to differences in software versions and data formats. Here are the key points to consider:

### **1. Version Compatibility:**

- **Tally 7.2**: Released in the early 2000s, it uses a different data format and lacks many features available in later versions.
- **Tally 9**: Released later, it introduced new features and updated data formats not supported by Tally 7.2.

### **2. Data Format Differences:**

- The data structures and formats in Tally 9 are not backward compatible with Tally 7.2. This means that Tally 7.2 cannot directly read or import data files created in Tally 9.

### **3. Possible Solutions:**

1. **Data Export and Import via Intermediate Versions:**
- **Export Data:** Export the data from Tally 9 into a format like Excel or XML if the software allows.
- **Intermediate Software:** Import this data into a version of Tally that can handle such exports and then try to migrate from this version to Tally 7.2.
- **Manual Re-entry:** If a direct import is not possible, you might need to manually re-enter the data into Tally 7.2.

2. **Consult Tally Support:**
- **Tally Solutions:** Contact Tally Solutions for advice or possible tools they might offer for data migration. They may have solutions or suggestions for handling data migrations between versions.

3. **Upgrade Instead:**
- **Upgrade Tally 7.2:** Instead of downgrading to Tally 7.2, consider upgrading Tally 7.2 to a more recent version that can import data from Tally 9. Tally generally supports upgrading to newer versions, which may be a more viable solution.

4. **Third-Party Tools:**
- **Migration Tools:** Some third-party tools and services might assist in data migration, but their effectiveness and compatibility should be verified.

### **Steps for Migration:**

1. **Backup Data:** Always back up your Tally 9 data before attempting any migration or conversion.

2. **Explore Export Options:** Check if Tally 9 provides any options for exporting data in a format that could be used by intermediate software.

3. **Manual Entry as a Last Resort:** If automated methods fail, manually re-enter the data into Tally 7.2 based on reports and exports from Tally 9.

### **Conclusion:**

Migrating data from Tally 9 to Tally 7.2 is complex due to compatibility issues. Consider upgrading your software or using an intermediate version to facilitate the migration. Always consult Tally support or a professional for guidance tailored to your specific situation.
