: Hi Mark, thank you this helps a lot - I couldn't find the "transferring to a new computer" link last night.
: One more question...
: is the default for file store the program files/fund manager/my_data directory? I only ask because there is only a samples directory. and an 8kb cats.dat file - is there a chance that my client's info ended up in the samples directory? Client isn't a power user and wouldn't have ever to thought to move the data yet it seems a mostly empty directory. Secondly, can I assume the autoback directory files are usable in this case? : I'll have to set up his preferences as the registery is long gone thanks to a Windows XP SP 2 upgrade,disaster. : thanks again, : ~Andrew Hi Andrew, Yes, the "my_data" is the default location for your data. Yes, it is possible
to have saved their own investments/portfolios into the "samples" directory.
Yes, you can restore investment files from the autoback directory. The one
key here is to make sure to copy them back to the proper location relative
to the portfolio file you're using. If you open a portfolio file it also
opens all the investment files contained in that portfolio file. If it
can't find one or more investments it will tell you about it, and where it
is expecting that investment file to be located. Thanks,
Mark
