Convert Legacy Projects to a New Database Structure


When your database structure has been updated, projects created with the old structure will no longer work with the report forms designed to work with the new structure. You can easily convert these legacy projects to the new structure, using a correspondence file that maps the table-and-field locations between the legacy structure and the updated, current structure.

Using a Convert Project utility built into the gINT software, you can specify the current structure (Data Template), the correspondence file, and list the projects to convert:

When the projects you will convert are all in the same folder, you can simply specify the folder.
