How to update the FM user database from 4.7 to version 5.0?

FM 50 uses a different database layout, so it is necessary to migrate users. This short instruction gives you a short (unsupported) instruction on how to import exisiting users. If you use the trial it may be easier just to setup the new maximum of 3 accounts. :o)

Open the old database in MS Access2000
- Create a new query  (switch to SQL view from the View menu) containing the following text:
SELECT Login.ID, Login.CrDate, 5 AS GroupID, Login.User, Login.Pass, "" AS Info, Login.IsDisabled, Login.LanguageFile, Login.ItemsPerPage, Login.SortBy, Login.ShowItems, Login.History, Login.NumLogins, Login.LastTime, Login.LastIP, Login.LastDir, Now() AS LastPassChange, Login.RootFolder, "" AS Email FROM Login;
- Run the query
- Select all records and copy them

Open the new database
- Open the table Login
- Menu: Edit - Paste Append
- Confirm and you should be ready to use FM. Erase the UserRootFolder fields if you want to use the groups RootFolder setting with the %user% variable.
