DL-WINDOWS™ V4.0 USER'S GUIDE 45
Transferring Account Files Between PC's
We recommend using a USB drive flash memory card when
transferring DL-Windows Account files from one computer to an-
other. To ensure a successful transfer, both computers must
correctly operate with USB drive flash memory cards before per-
forming this procedure. DL-Windows must not be running on
either system. Note: The Tools, Import a Single ADF Ac-
count File menu feature used in the procedure below is only
supported by DL-Windows versions 3.5.5 and greater.
Account files exist in pairs:
• Acctx.Adf is the Account file
• Acctx_Log.adf is the Event Log for the Account file
In the example that follows, the names Acct2.adf and
Acct2_Log.adf are used. Note that some Windows systems are
not configured to display file extensions (you may only see Acct2
and Acct2_Log -- this is OK. Please proceed as if the file exten-
sions are displayed.
At the source computer (from which you want to transfer the DL-
Windows Accounts), open Windows Explorer from the Start,
Programs menu. Locate the DL-Windows installation folder (if
you selected the default folders, look in "C:\DL-Windows").
Highlight the Account files you wish to transfer (hold down the
"Ctrl" key and click on each file). Right-click the highlighted files
and click Copy (see image below).
Locate your USB drive in the left hand pane of the Windows Ex-
plorer window. Click to select the USB drive, then right-click in
the right hand pane and click Paste (see image below).
Remove the USB drive from the source computer and connect it
to the target computer. Similar to the previous steps, at the tar-
get computer, open Windows Explorer and locate the USB
drive. Highlight the Account files to transfer, right-click and se-
lect Copy. Locate and click to highlight the DL-Windows folder.
Right-click in the right hand pane and click Paste.
Launch DL-Windows. Click Tools, Import a Single ADF Ac-
count File (see the image below). Note: The word "Single" in
the menu refers to both Account files that were copied.
Click Yes to the import question and an Open file dialog box ap-
pears:
Although both files that were copied appear, only select the
Acct2.adf file and click Open. The Name Account dialog ap-
pears (see below image) requesting a new name be created for
this new Account.
Click OK to complete the import process.
