Move Calibration Management Database
Move Calibration Control Database to New Location
Users will often need to move their calibration management database file (apecal.mdb)
from the original location, where it was first installed, to a new location. You might even
want to make the database file easier to backup or to place it in a more central
location so other users can connect.
Close Calibration Control
Before moving your database file, ensure that your Calibration Control application
is closed.
Find Database File
Before you can move your ‘apecal.mdb’, you'll need to find it. If you need help,
see the help page on finding your database file before
moving to the next step.
Move Database File
Chose your new location either on a shared network or the same computer and move
your ‘apecal.mdb’ file from its original location to your new location. In the following
example, I decided to move my file to the new location:
C:\Backup\CCV5
Note: If you move your database file to a network location, you must grant appropriate
user permissions to that new location depending on who needs access.
Point Calibration Control to New Location
Point your calibration management software to the new location by starting the application.
When Calibration Control discovers that the ‘apecal.mdb’ file is missing from its
known location, it will show you the following ‘Database File Not Found’ dialog:
From within this dialog, select ‘Point to a New Database File’ and click the [OK]
button. Browse to and select the new database location and click the [Open] button.
Your calibration management application should start as normal and will remember
this new location.
