As it's on 1.30 the DB probably has many years of data and if it has any customisations there's a good chance that they can be replaced by standard enhancements added since 1.30.
IMO you may be a lot better off treating it as a foreign system and doing a reimplementation into a new, clean, fast database. Without the the accumulated cr...uft of a decade and a half of operation.
Also, I've looked at the CD images I do have (GB only not DK) The 2.60 has upgrades from 2.01 and later and the 2.01 has 2.00 ONLY, I have a few CDs from before 2.00 (not 2.00 itself though) and there's a noticeable lack of upgrade toolkits before 2.01 ... This will make things difficult as Microsoft seem to have lost all non-US versions of Navision.
He could compile the upgrade toolkit objects and remove all the US related fields and tables. At least it will give him the W1 version, which I think he was asking for.

He really needs the DK tool kit if he will do an upgrade. A lot changed in the data structure from 1.3 to 2.01, number series and inventory application entries, lots of key things that need to be done properly.
But in reality I agree that doing this many jumps it is probably going to be easier, and definitely cleaner to do a new implementation.
Hi all,
this upgrade can be done in 3 steps (My situation NF1.3 -> NAV4.3, not much changes in 130 database, slightly modified):
1) Upgrade database to NF200 (Use US upgrade toolkit 120 to 200 - works ok for 130)
2) Upgrade 200 to 201
3) Upgrade 201 to 260 ...

Perhaps. It is possible to import the 1.30 directly into 2.60
I don;t think so, there are a lot of changes. The upgrade tool kits are on the CD. And if you are doing Danish you will need the Danish one.

PS: US version is here: https://mbs.microsoft.com/partnersource ... rchive.htm
But as David said, it probably won't help.
