I think you're much better off by 1. Creating new structure, menu items forms, etc. in 7.1 2. When you unload the data from 6.5, I think your best bet is:
1. For each table: Unload data for tablename USING (list the columns in the table); provided you haven't REMOVED columns in all your updates, this should load without errors if you RUN FILENAME in 7.1 David Blocker [EMAIL PROTECTED] 781-784-1919 Fax: 781-784-1860 Cell: 339-206-0261 ----- Original Message ----- From: "Marc" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "RBG7-L Mailing List" <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, May 12, 2005 12:06 PM Subject: [RBG7-L] - Update old users > HI > > I have lots of users in 6.x and want to update > them to 7.1. > > About a year ago someone suggest unloading > their data and "importing" it into an empty 7.1 > data base. > > My question is.... how can I make sure the > columns in each table match. > > Some of these offices never ran the updates > I sent over the years or didn't run them properly. > So, I am afraid they will have missing columns > in some tables or worse, columns that have > changed names over the years. > > thanks > Marc > >
