Well, it is a bit more nuanced than that, but I understand what you need. You may not necessarily need a whole new database, just stop billing any clients that leave your firm past February 10th and you will not have any new A/R in your database for those clients, but will continue to show prior balances as due. IF they just insist on a new database, that's fine, but you need to bring TWO things over from the old database. Previous balances for A/R and Funds AND any unbilled slips. You would use the new database based on current to create a new database with all of the names from the old database, but no balances and slips. Then you would purge out any clients that are leaving the firm to go with the departed partner, leaving you with only YOUR clients in the new database. Then you need to add in their starting A/R balances (read the help file re: Invoice A/R transactions) and bring forward any unbilled slips via an archive/combine (you do not have to rekey these slips). Hope that helps.
