Data Conversion


Getting Started > Data Conversion

If you are upgrading from any version lower than 5.0.230 the TrackPro data format will be different from the one you are using now. If this is the case you will need to send the data, to me and I will convert it to the Version 5 format at no charge. Just email the TrackPro.mdb file to support@baronsoftware.com. The data file for older versions of TrackPro is usually contained in the TrackPro.mdb file which, by default, is installed in the "c:\Program Files\TrackPro" folder. You may also use the Windows search function to locate this file.


In all versions of TrackPro greater than 5.0, the default locations for the TrackPro Data files will vary according to the operating system and whether TrackPro was installed for all users of just for one user. Optionally, the file may be installed at a custom location. You will need to overwrite the existing data file with the converted one. You can find the location of the file by using the windows search function. However, in most cases this will not work. By default, the Windows operating system will hide data files located in their default locations. Therefore, before searching you must ensure that data files are not hidden. 


Please see "How to Unhide Files" to learn how to make the files visible.
