Hi All, I know this has probably been covered before, but I have just got a newer computer and want to move my FO over, I am using v9 with a patch. I also have a cd burner with my both computers. So can someone tell me step my step how to put all my files on a cd in one step. Or will I still have to backup, install v9 on new computer, go online and download the patch, and restore databases? I am not that computer literate, so breaking it down into small steps would be much appreciated. Dawn Patterson Sturgis, MI

Should be smooth going if you: 1. Install FO v.9 from CD to new computer 2: Download (or copy from old computer) the v.9 "patch" onto a floppy. 3 Run "patch" program on new computer and point to newly-created FO v.9 4 Perform "backup" of database (from File menu) on "old" computer to -->floppy (or CDR/CDRW) 5. Perform "restore" of database (from File menu) on "new" computer from floppy. (If using CDR/CDRW you should first use Windows explorer to "copy" the FO backup file with .zip extension -->from CDR/CDRW--> to a folder on new hard drive ~AND~ right-click the filename, choose properties, uncheck "Read-Only" *THEN* perform Step 5.) 6. Repeat entire process for all FO databases on "old" computer to transfer to "new" one!
