Is there a pack-n-go feature on 6 Beta like there is on 5? Or how is the best way to transfer databases from one computer to another?

Re: Invalid path or filename error in install
Since originally posting this concern, I have not solved the problem. I did as you said, John, and made sure it was installed in the C:\Donor6 location. I have since reformatted a computer (complete wipe and install Windows 7 Pro) and get the same error when trying to install on it. Then just today ...

Invalid path or filename error in install
I'm trying to install DM 6 Beta on my laptop, which I've done, but when I run it I get this error message: "Invalid path or filename." The window has the little Windows logo on it and says, "Program error." Running Windows 7 Starter. I already have DM 5 up and running. Sure would like to get this wo...

Getting a "resource file is not valid" message
Recently, whenever I open DM I get a message saying, "The resource file is not valid. Overwrite it with a new empty one?" I've always responded with "No" and the program appears to continue functioning properly. How can I get rid of the message? Is it save to say "Yes?" What exactly is the resource ...

Re: Problem with E-mail list to clipboard
Solved the problem myself. I had to have the "OK to e-mail" checkbox checked. Makes sense.

Problem with E-mail list to clipboard
Since I am not using the Denomination field, and had used up all 10 of my checkbox fields, I created a denomination called "E-Mail Prayer List" for a small group of records that I want to be able to email to. In testing it, I assigned two records with that "denomination." Both have a valid email add...

Short zip code +4 field
I just noticed that on the Details page/screen, the space for the zip +4 field doesn't show all the numbers if you have a zip +4 in that field. Needs to be widened a bit. At least that's how it appears on my screen.

Re: Migrating DM 5 data bugs
Yes, it's the prefs not found error, but here's what I learned. When I tried the migration using the link on the opening/home screen, everything works and no error is received. However, if I click "Tools" at the top on the home screen, then pick the "import data..." link in the left column menu on t...

Re: Migrating DM 5 data bugs
I downloaded Beta 9 and still get the error. When I click the Cancel button, it actually closes DM. When I go to Migrate data from DM 5... the correct file location for my DM 5 is what appears in the file location field. It remembered it from the previous time.

Re: Migrating DM 5 data bugs
That fixed it. I did get an error message saying "alias 'PREFS' is not found" and i had to click "cancel" to get past it ("ignore" didn't work) but as far as I can tell, everything migrated intact.
Thanks.
Jerry
Thanks.

Migrating DM 5 data bugs
It may just be me, but when I try to migrate my DM5 data to DM6 Beta and browse to the location of my DM5 data file, DM6 Beta doesn't want to "take" the new location after I've located it. When I click the "select" button it takes me back to the window and still shows C:\donor5\data as the source of...

Importing from Excel: Map Data Fields incomplete
I'm importing a donor list from an Excel file. No problems with the process, except that some of the fields I have in the Excel file aren't matched in the "Map Data Fields" screen. For instance, I have a field in the Excel file for the "Send Newsletter" field in DM, but that field is not available f...
