16-bit to Nova Database Conversion

How do I convert my 16 bit database into Nova 32 bit database?

1.   Conversion must take place into a blank Nova database.

2.   Using Windows Explorer, look under in the Nova folder. Search for AOD32.MDB. This is the name of the database. Since it may have information in it, you must replace it with a blank one. Rename this database to AOD32.OLD.

3.   Under the Nova folder is the Utils folder. Look in here for the AOD32.MDB. This is a blank database to use for the conversion. Using the Windows copy/paste feature, copy this database and paste it into the Nova folder.

4.   Minimize Explorer, click on Start | Programs | Dayone nova products | Database conversion.

5.   In the Database Conversion box, use the Select Database buttons to browse to the databases. The Source Database must be D1win\aod.mdb (its default location would be on the c: drive but this may have been changed.) The Target database would be Nova\aod32.mdb.

6.   Put a check mark in Phase I and Phase II. And then, click on Copy Data.

7.   The conversion will take place and you will be informed when it is successfully completed. Close the Conversion Utility.

8.   The conversion will now take place and tables containing the following information will be brought into Nova’s AOD32.mdb database:

·      Property information

·      Client information

·      Invoice information

·      Borrower information

·      Custom Reports

·      Various other tables in the Access Database.
