Situation 4:

• I have a new computer, and…

• I want to transfer the entered data from the old computer to the new one, and…
  

• ADM has been installed on the new computer, and…
  
• ADM is not working correctly on the old computer, and…

  NOTE: Your ADM that is already installed on the new computer will be referred to as the permanent installation for the purposes of this document. A temporary installation of ADM may be required to import your old forms.

1. If the permanent installation of ADM is on a server or a computer with a shared folder:
   a. Where the ADM folder is located, grant each user Create, Read, Write, Modify, and Execute privileges (these privileges are known by different names depending on the operating system of the computer where ADM is located). For Windows Server 2003, you may also be required to set Share permissions.
   b. For each user who will be accessing ADM, create a drive mapping to the folder where you copied the ADM structure. For example, if you copied the ADM structure to \\server\share\ADM, you can choose to map drive J: to \\server\share. The ADM folder will then be located using J:\ADM.
   c. Go to Step 3.
   
   
2. If the permanent installation of ADM is on a single PC:
   a. If the computer is running Windows XP and multiple users will be accessing ADM, complete the steps below.
   i. Open Control Panel > Folder Options and choose the View tab > Advanced Settings. Remove the check mark from "Use simple file sharing (recommended)". Click OK.
   ii. In Windows Explorer or My Computer, right click on the ADM folder. Select Properties. Choose the Security tab and select the user name or group of the ADM users. Click Allow Full Control. Repeat this step for each user or group. Click OK.
   iii. Repeat Step 2.a.i, but now check the box for "Use simple file sharing". Click OK.
   b. Go to Step 3.
   
   
3. If possible, run ADM on the old computer. Note: if you cannot run ADM on the old computer, go to Step 5 below.
   a. Create a data transfer file and save it to a location the new computer can access.
   i. Choose the menu Tools > ADM Data Transfer > Create Transfer Files (or Export to .Zip Files, depending on your version).
   ii. Select a transfer folder that the new computer can access (e.g., a shared drive, a folder on a floppy disk, a thumb drive, a CD).
   iii. Choose a file name that is no longer than 8 characters or numbers and contains no spaces or special characters. Click the Next button.
   iv. On the selection criteria screen, click the Next button.
   v. Click the Transfer button to create the transfer file.
   vi. Go to Step 4.
   
   
4. Import the contents of the data transfer file into your new permanent ADM:
   a. Review the ADM User Guide chapter about Data Transfer.
   b. Start your permanent ADM.
   c. Copy the file created in Step 3 or Step 5 into the \ADM\Export folder.
   d. From the Tools menu, select ADM Data Transfer > Import Transfer Files.
   i. Select the file you copied in Step c above.
   ii. Click the Next button through all presented screens. Read the Help available on each screen if you need instructions.
   iii. Complete the import of your previous data.
   iv. After import has completed, go to the Catalog, select a person and view forms to check that data did import.
   e. Go to Step 6.
   
   
5. If you cannot run ADM on the old computer, you can try restoring a backup of the ADM\Database folder from the old computer to a temporary location on another computer. NOTE: IF YOU DON'T HAVE A BACKUP YOU CANNOT TRANSFER OLD DATA TO YOUR NEW COMPUTER.
   a. Create an ADM folder in a temporary location of your choice on a stand-alone PC or a shared computer. Then create a \Database folder under the \ADM folder. Copy the contents of the restored \Database folder into this location. Do NOT copy the contents of the ADM\Database folder directly from your old computer that is not working properly! Do NOT copy the restored ADM\Database folder into your permanent new ADM installation!
   b. Select (highlight) all the files in the temporary \Database folder, right click the mouse, and choose properties. Be sure that Read Only is not checked.
   c. Install ADM to the temporary location you selected in Step a above. This is the temporary installation. When prompted for serial numbers, use all the serial numbers for your old versions of ADM (these may be on separate CDs).
   d. Run the temporary installation of ADM and create a data transfer file.
   i. Choose the menu Tools > ADM Data Transfer > Create Transfer Files (or Export to .Zip Files, depending on your version).
   ii. Select a transfer folder from which you can copy the new file to your permanent ADM installation. (e.g., a shared drive, a folder on a floppy disk, a thumb drive, a CD).
   iii. Choose a file name that is no longer than 8 characters or numbers and contains no spaces or special characters. Click the Next button.
   iv. On the Selection Criteria screen, click the Next button.
   v. Click the Transfer button to create the transfer file.
   vi. Verify that your transfer file is in a location that can be accessed by the permanent ADM.
   vii. Uninstall the temporary ADM.
   viii. Go to back to Step 4.
   
   
6. To maintain licensing compliance, uninstall ADM from the old computer.
