EmployeeFileBuilder

How to: Update from Version 3.2 to Version 4.0

EmployeeFileBuilder 4.0 is a Win 98/2000/XP program.

Please be sure you have all of the latest Windows Service Packs installed... this makes world of difference!

(Windows 2000 has 3, XP has 1)

Click the START button (on your desktop)

Click "Windows Updates" (or visit www.microsoft.com -- look for 'downloads')

Please follow the Microsoft instructions.

Complete Your Import Before Adding Any Further Data

The import will not change the data in the old database, but it will overwrite any/all information that exists in the new database (but it's empty so that's OK... unless you went ahead and typed stuff in it already--that stuff is gonzo in favor of upgrading all of your previous records from v3.2. Sorry.) Therefore, you should perform the import prior to adding new records or corporate policies. :-)

Allow EmployeeFileBuilder to install to its default folder.

Before you import your 3.2 database, you must make sure it is [re]named EMPLOYEE.MDB for the import to work.

To import your existing information open the new employee database and select "Import EmployeeFileBuilder 3.2 database" from the File, Add-ins menu.

You will then receive a prompt to select the database that will be imported.
