Exporting items before upgrading versions

---

The Export for upgrade item on the administrator menu bar allows you to export all central modifiable lists and other customizable items. These lists are stored in the database's structure file, which is replaced when you upgrade to a new version of Otobase. When you select this item, a special document is created in a special Otobase folder called OTBEC on your computer. To find this folder, with the Home Window or Subject List on your screen, click Help, then click on the File Info tab of the About Otobase form. The box under Otobase directory will show you the location of the OTBEC folder.

Note: If you work on a networked computer system you may not have access to the OTBEC folder. If this is the case, contact your network administrator.

For steps to follow in exporting these lists before an upgrade, see Exporting/importing modifiable items, Version 2.5 or newer and Exporting/importing modifiable items, pre-Version 2.5.
