Converting 2.04-2.06/2.6.1 Database to DriveRight FMS
Format
A separate conversion utility, OldToNew, has been included with the DriveRight FMS software to
allow the conversion of existing DriveRight 2.04, 2.05, 2.06 and 2.6.1 database files for use with
DriveRight FMS.
Note: This conversion utility can only be used with databases created by DriveRight 2.04, 2.05,
2.06 or 2.6.1. If you are using an earlier version of the DriveRight software you must first upgrade
to one of the supported versions.
Use the following procedure to convert your existing DriveRight database for use with DriveRight
FMS:
1. Install and run DriveRight FMS before you convert your data to the new format.
2. Verify the current location in DriveRight FMS using the Current Location command in the
Setup Menu. This location information will be associated with all the 2.x data when
converted into the new database format.
