Polychronis,
Follow the steps below to convert your existing 6.5++ for
Windows Forms, Reports and Labels to 7.1 for Windows.
Converting Forms:
Once you have taken all the necessary steps to prepare your
existing database for the R:BASE 7.1 upgrade, connect to the
database with version 7.1. All necessary database structure
conversions happen automatically.
After successfully connecting to the database, you may want
to use your existing forms in 6.5++ for Windows as a foundation
to get you started in the new program. You will need to complete
a conversion process for each form before they can be used.
Here's how:
01. Click on the "Forms" tab of the Database Explorer and use
the scroll bar to navigate to the "Convert" button. Upon
pressing this button, you will see that a dialog containing
a list of the available forms is displayed. Select the form
that you want to convert from the list, and press "OK". You
will see that the form is now converted and the Form Designer
opens for you to design your form. The minimum that you need
to do for the form to run is save it. However, you will
probably be overwhelmed by the selection of available form
objects and decide to improve on your existing design.
For detailed information on the Form Designer and the
available objects, refer to the Forms.CHM help file.
Converting Reports:
Once you have taken all the necessary steps to prepare your
existing database for the R:BASE 7.1 upgrade, connect to the
database with version 7.1. All necessary database structure
conversions happen automatically.
After successfully connecting to the database, you may want
to use your existing reports in 6.5++ for Windows as a foundation
to get you started in the new program. You will need to complete
a conversion process for each report before it can be used.
Here's how:
01. Click on the "Reports" tab of the Database Explorer and use
the scroll bar to navigate to the "Convert" button. Upon
pressing this button, you will see that a dialog containing
a list of the available reports is displayed. Select the
report that you want to convert from the list, and press "OK".
You will see that the report is now converted and the Report
Designer opens for you to design your report. The minimum that
you need to do for the report to run is save it. However, you
will probably decide to improve on your existing report design.
For detailed information on the Report Designer and the
available objects, refer to the Reports.CHM help file.
Converting Reports:
Once you have taken all the necessary steps to prepare your
existing database for the R:BASE 7.1 upgrade, connect to the
database with version 7.1. All necessary database structure
conversions happen automatically.
After successfully connecting to the database, you may want
to use your existing labels in 6.5++ for Windows as a foundation
to get you started in the new program. You will need to complete
a conversion process for each label before it can be used.
Here's how:
01. Click on the "Labels" tab of the Database Explorer and use
the scroll bar to navigate to the "Convert" button. Upon
pressing this button, you will see that a dialog containing
a list of the available labels is displayed. Select the
label that you want to convert from the list, and press "OK".
You will see that the label is now converted and the Label
Designer opens for you to design your label. The minimum that
you need to do for the label to run is save it. However, you
will probably decide to improve on your existing label design.
For detailed information on the Label Designer and the
available objects, refer to the Labels.CHM help file.
