- Note:
- If you are upgrading from a version
- of File Express that is earlier than 2.5
- you should delete any stack files from your
- Data Disks. These are the files that have
- an extension of ".STK". You can do this by
- inserting your Data Disk into drive A and
- typing:
-
- DEL A:*.STK <Enter>
-
- If your database files contain any deleted
- records you should rebuild this deleted
- record stack file by selecting <7> (File
- Maintenance) from the Main Menu and then
- selecting <3> (Rebuild Deleted Record Stack).
- This will cause File Express to go through
- the entire index for that file and look for
- deleted record slots that can be used the
- next time you enter data.
