    1.

      I have followed the steps fully and each time I try to import I get an unknown null error REPLY: Please call 800 896 7035.

      I would like to upgrade TG 4 to TG 5.5 MS SQL with all employee, punches and payroll data. REPLY: This is not possible as 4 and 5 have different db structures. Please call 800 896 7035 for more info.
