- DATA CONVERSION
-
- 3.x to 4.x
-
- If you are upgrading from PARENTS 3.0 to 4.0, the software will
- detect that the data files need to be converted. The data conversion
- between the 3.0 format and the 4.0 format is only minor and will not cause
- any data loss or the need to make any manual modifications.
-
-
- 2.x TO 4.x
-
- In order to implement some of the new features of PARENTS, the
- database format had to be changed. Some of the changes that made the data
- conversion necessary were the additions of the SURNAME field to the
- Individual Worksheet and the ability to store date and place data for
- multiple marriages. As a result of these changes, the 2.x or earlier data
- files are not directly compatible with PARENTS 4.0.
- The first time that you start PARENTS 4.0, the software will detect
- that the datafiles are from an earlier version and present you with the
- option to convert the data files or exit the software. Before making the
- conversion, you should make a backup copy of all of the .DB and .IDX files.
- The conversion process will also make a backup copy of the original 2.x
- files under another name.
- Once the conversion has been completed, it is up to you to make some
- slight modifications to the data that the data conversion process was unable
- to make. These modifications include splitting the name field into Surname
- and Name. Since PARENTS cannot accurately split the name into Surname and
- Name, it is up to the you to make this change.
