Q. How do I upgrade from an older version of Progression Toolbox?

If you are using a shared database:

1. Install the latest version of the older version of Progression Toolbox. The setup program for Progression can be downloaded from: http://www.abante.com/downloads/winprogressionold.htm or found on an installation CD at: {CD}:\Archive\vXX\TB\setup.exe. Please refer to your Progression Toolbox Reference Manual for instructions on how to set up Progression.
2. Run the older version of Progression.
3. Open and login to your database.
4. Click on the 'Tools->Administrator' menu. One of the menu options is 'Export...".
5. Select Export and click on 'Table Database Format' as the type of export.
6. Click on the 'Next' button and select a file you would like to export the database to and click on the 'Next' button.
7. Click on the 'Finish' button to export the database.
8. Close Progression.
9. Start the new version of Progression Toolbox.

If you are using a server (SQL Server) database:

2. Open your database as you would otherwise open a database.
3. When Progression asks to confirm that you have run the update script, answer yes to continue.
