Revision Date: 2005-09-01

I upgraded from GAGEpack for DOS to GAGEpack 2000, how do I convert existing data?

To convert data from GAGEpack for DOS:

Open the File Menu and select Convert data from GAGEpack for DOS. If you have a GAGEpack 2000 database open, you will be prompted to close it at this time. Select Yes.
The GAGEpack Conversion Wizard will open. Click on Next.
Specify the disk drive and directory from which you start GAGEpack for DOS. This will usually be C:\\GP20\\.Then, select Next.
Select the types of GAGEpack for DOS data that you want to convert: Gage Inventory, User defined choice lists, users. Then, select Next. If GAGEpack for DOS was used with multiple user, choice, and gage databases, you will get a message \"Not all users are set up with the same data directory.\" An Explain this button will appear with a message: You will need to convert each user database individually to have access to this data in GAGEpack 2000.
Confirm the file locations of the GAGEpack for DOS files. Then, select Next.
Specify the database into which you want to bring the data.
If you selected New database, you will need to specify the drive, path, and new file names for the database that you want to convert. Click on the set button to do this.
If you are appending the data to an existing database, you will need to specify the drive, path, and file names for the database that you want to convert. Click on the set button to do this.
Then, select Next.
Select Finish to convert the data.
