gkowalsky6 0 Report post Posted February 10, 2005 When upgrading from 6.0x to v.7, how do I import the preferences (i.e., clients database, catalogs and scripts)? Are all these savet in the one file, as with v.6 and earlier? I'm having constant problems with prefs corrupted on 6.0 - every 3 or so months. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
natew 0 Report post Posted February 14, 2005 Hi This should happen automatically when you launch 7 for the first time. Make sure your old preferences are in the default location: documents and settings\all users\application data\retrospect Thanks Nate Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
awnews 0 Report post Posted February 15, 2005 Also, when I converted from 6.5 to 7.0, the 7.0 program automatically made a *new* copy of the config files for 7.0, leaving my old 6.5 config alone (although I had also made my own backup copy in advance). I'm guessing the 6.0->7.0 upgrade will do the same. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
natew 0 Report post Posted March 3, 2005 Hi This is strange. Did you install Retrospect 7 for all users of the machine or just the logged in user? Did you do the same with 6.5? FWIW I've reinstalled 7 a bunch of times on just about every OS and the 6.5 preferences are imported every time. Thanks Nate Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
awnews 0 Report post Posted March 3, 2005 Nate, If that question was directed at me, I wanted to clarify: "made a new *new* copy of the config files for 7.0, leaving my old 6.5 config alone" meant that it automatically *imported* the data from the 6.5 config file into the 7.0 config file.
