Oh gosh ... yes ... I changed the path from relative path to hardcoded path ... and it works! There must be some problem with my file reference, though I still think that relative path should work. Well, at least I have a solution now, figure out the rest later. Took me so long to get that right. Thanks a millon for that pointer, Steve!

Actually, no ...it is from v8 to v8 (runtime version) I am trying to include a upgrade feature for my program so that I can send off upgrade to them and with a click of a button, it will moved the data from the old database to the new database. But I cannot think of a better way then then to get the user to: 1. Go to the old file, click on a button, that will export out all the data from the current file. 2. Go to the new file, click on a button to import in the old data into the new file. I want to automate the process but was unable to do it. I tried to call a script in the old runtime file from my new runtime file but apparently it fail to run. Any anyone can help? Thanks.

I have been struggling with the upgrading process for the runtime and read up all the past thread with regards to this but I still could not figure it out. I have created a runtime solution but before I roll it out, I want it to be prepared for the next upgrade. I am trying to call a function in the previous solution file to export out all the records from my new solution file, so that I can import it into new solution file. But I could not get it to excute accross the solution. Can anyone show me what is the proper way to do an export and importing of the data into the new solution? Thanks. Rdgs, Stacey

i have created a runtime solution and is trying to prepare for the upgrade. However, when I follow the instructions that in the Development Guide, it says 1. Convert File () 2. Import Records ( 3. Close File( I tried it out and realised that point 2 seems should have been instead. Am I wrong? Also, I could not figure out how to change to another table in the source file before importing the record (My file has about 10 tables) it seems to be always pointing to the table that is available when the file is first open up. Does anyone know how to do the importing correctly? Thanks.
