If you are using FileMaker (rather than the runtime application) you can make the jump in one step. The file format is identical for both platforms, so you can transfer the data files (everything ending in .100) to the PC and open them with the PC version of FileMaker. If your PC FileMaker is the same version as the Mac FileMaker, presumably version 3 or 4, that's all there is to it. If your PC FileMaker is version 5, FileMaker will convert the files from FileMaker 3/4 to version 5 the first time you open ebase with the new version. You will be repeatedly asked what you want to name the new and old files. Accept the defaults, which will name the previous files xxxxx_old.100, and the new ones xxxx.100. Use the Admin screen to change from single to multi-user, or the other way, to trick ebase into opening all the files. Once that's done, remove all the xxxx_old.100 files from the active directory to an archive somewhere, and you're done. -- -- Dave Shaw H4 Consulting tel: 206-954-7526 fax: 206-625-1338 ------------------ Reminder to each recipient: To change your list account preferences, go to http://email.sparklist.com/scripts/lyris.pl?enter=support and enter the email address you used to subscribe to the ebase support list:: [email protected] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- ebase - Relationship Management for Nonprofits, http://www.ebase.org ---------------------------------------------------------------------
