Cannot load DB

Post by Chris C » Sun Dec 18, 2005 11:47 am

I am trying to recover files from a pc that won’t run windows any more but I can get the data off the hard drive. I cannot run k&k any longer on that pc as it will not get out of dos mode so I figured I’d pull files from the directories of the databases I want to save and transfer to my newer pc. What files do I need for this to work under a fresh download of the kithandkin program? I pulled one directory in the data subdirectory I need but it doesn’t see it; I mean I cannot open it as a database.

Each sub-folder in the \Data\ folder is a complete database and is all you need to open a database in Kith and Kin Pro.

Does the database name appear in the list when you use "File | Database | Open"?

Thanks Nick. I recopied everything over again and it worked! Must have done something wrong in the first transfer attempt.
