Upgrade


If you are upgrading from version 4.0 or greater, no event file conversion is necessary.

If you are upgrading a version prior to 4.0, WinDates will prompt you to convert your existing data file to the latest format.

During installation, the following files will not be overwritten if they exist.

The first time you execute WinDates after installation, if a previous version data file (events.dat or events20.dat) exists, you will be prompted to convert the latest version file to the current file format. If you want to convert and use events entered through the previous version, select Yes. If you wish to start out fresh using example events, select no. If you select no, you may convert the previous version file at a later time by performing the Convert Previous File function.

If you choose to convert the previous file, the default data file (events.wdt) will be renamed to default.wdt. You may open this file at a later time using the Open command.
