Importing from Prior Version Files

You can convert and import data from project files and standard database files that were created in previous versions of the software.

Note: Starting in Version 21.0.2, you can import only from Version 9 or later.

Importing to a New Standard Database (File > Open Database)

For all ReliaSoft desktop applications, you can use the File > Open Database method to import data from a project file or standard database that was created in a previous version of the software. This imports the data to a new project in a new standard database.

1. Choose File > Open Database.
2. Browse for the file and click Open.
3. The conversion process will begin immediately.

When the process completes, the original file will remain unchanged and the new standard database will be created in the same folder.

Tip: Once the new database has been created, you can use the Import/Export Projects feature to copy the data into an existing database, if desired.
