If you have not done so already, please contact R:BASE Technologies to receive the legacy conversion utility for migrating R:BASE 4000/5000 databases. The legacy conversion utility is a 16-bit application file that will not open on 64-bit operating systems.
IMPORTANT: The instructions below require the steps be executed on a 32-bit operating system.
| 1. | Create a new directory; perhaps something near your root directory on the local drive (example: "C:\DBTEMP"). |
| 2. | Copy the contents of the "CONVERT" directory provided by R:BASE Technologies into the directory created in Step 1. |
| 4. | Open a Command Prompt or DOS Prompt window and navigate to the new directory created above in Step 1. |
| 5. | At the Prompt, type: CONVERT dbname |
| 6. | Repeat for all databases. In addition to the original .RBS database files, three new files will be created for each data that have the .RBF file extensions. |
| 7. | Exit the Command Prompt or DOS Prompt window. Use the EXIT command to exit. |
8. Continue with the steps listed at Converting from R:BASE System V to R:BASE 4.0
