I'm considering upgrading to Rbase 7.6 from 3.3. How can I connect to a 3.3 database? Do I need to Unload and then Load? Export to comma delimited and then create my structure and import?
Geoffrey, First, welcome to the R:BASE World! All "Conversion and Migration" utilities, as well as R:BASE 6.5++ for Windows (an optional step to convert DOS Forms, Labels, and Reports to 6.5++ for Windows and then to 7.6), are included on the R:BASE 7.6 for Windows product CD. After successful installation of R:BASE 7.6 for Windows, you may find the following documents helpful. These documents are installed in the default installation folder (listed alphabetically): 01. All_About_the_CHOOSE_Command.pdf 02. All_About_the_DIALOG_Command.pdf 03. All_About_the_PAUSE_Command.pdf 04. All_About_the_PRINT_Command.pdf 05. AvailableResources.pdf 06. CommandIndex.pdf 07.
