Sorry for the interruption, but after almost 10 years of building, the computer on which I've kept my builder log (Kitlog 1.7.3) is showing signs that it's about to go toes up.



I've faithfully backed the data up to a DVD and I've got another computer (I don't have Kitlog 1.7.3 b/c it was a series of downloads over the years from the original Kitlog CD).



I'm ready to download Kitlog Pro online but I notice the trial version doesn't have a menu item as Kitlog 1.7.3 for restoring backed up files (or at least I couldnt' find it).



Before I spend $49, I wonder if someone who had migrated from an early version to the present version can tell me if this function is available on the fully featured (i.e. paid for) version.

While he may see it here, I would suggest emailing Matt Dralle directly, 

as I believe Matronics, hosting this list is the current owner of KitLog 

software.

Which is why I'm not contributing to the annual List Fund Drive this year.

I too paid for Kitlog Pro a few years ago, and there have been zero

improvements since. When Matt begins to properly support his products then

I'll support the Lists.



Bob, contact me offline and I'll try to help you sort out the restore of

backup if you don't hear from Matt.

Bob,



Kitlog just uses a standard Access database as a file store.  The current

release of Kitlog, V2.0, Build 050720.1 just has a file open  and file

backup.  The backup command is just a simple file copy of the *.mbd file.

There really isn't anything to restore, just open a copy of the backup file.



I'd be happy to attempt to load your 1.7.3 version into 2.0 for you as a

test.   Let me know how big your file is, then I can determine the best

method to get me the file if you're interested.



Bob

Hi Bob,



The database format between Kitlog 1.7.3 and Kitlog 2.0 is different and not directly compatible.  That being said, the Kitlog 2.0 Upgrader that is applied to an existing Kitlog 1.7.3 installation will automatically upgrade the 1.7.3 database to the new 2.0 format.  I would strongly recommend that you get Kitlog 1.7.3 working on the NEW computer, then try the upgrade to 2.0.  Here's the steps necessary to move the 1.7.3 installation to the NEW computer:



1) Copy the following folder and ALL sub-folders from the OLD computer to the NEW computer:



        c:\Program Files\KitlogPro



Note that if you have referenced photos in your log that are NOT located within the context of the above directory structure, you should ALSO copy all of these as well, being careful to exactly match the folder structure from the OLD computer on the NEW computer.



2) Download the Kitlog 1.7.3 installer from the following link:



        http://www.kitlog.com/dls/kitlogpro173.exe



3) Run the installer from Step 2 above.



4) Run Kitlog on the NEW computer and click on the Register button and find the new SystemID for the NEW computer.



5) Email support(at)kitlog.com the new SystemID found in Step 4.



6) When you receive the replacement Unlock code based on the new SystemID, start Kitlog again and install it as directed.



7) Verify that all of your log entries are present on the NEW computer including all of your pictures.  If everything looks good, go to Step 8.



 On the NEW computer, go to the following URL and download the Kitlog 2.0 Upgrade (Option 2):



        http://www.kitlog.com/downloads/



9) Run the Upgrade and following the instructions.  The Upgrade should find your Kitlog 1.7.3 installation and proceed to create a new Kitlog 2.0 database from it, then install Kitlog 2.0 on your computer.



NOTE that the Kitlog 2.0 Upgrader will install a completely standalone version of Kitlog 2.0 on your computer and will in no way disturb the existing Kitlog 1.7.3 installation.  Once you've done the upgrade, be sure that you are running the Kitlog 2.0 installation and NOT the older Kitlog 1.7.3 version.  If you are satisfied with the installation of Kitlog 2.0 and the migration of your log entries from the old Kitlog 1.7.3 installation, I would recommend using the Add/Remove Windows Control Panel to Uninstall the Kitlog 1.7.3 installation to make sure there is no confusion in the future.
