How do I copy favourites etc from one PC to another?

Wed Feb 24, 2010 11:24 am

Hi,

I've set up a whole bunch of favourites and categories etc. on my work PC but would like to transfer these settings to my home laptop. I have gamebase up and running, just wondering where this file is saved (prefs?) and how I can transfer it.

Many thanks!

I'm assuming your using Internet Explorer.

In the file menu (if is not showing press ALT) select 'import and export'. Choose 'export to file'. Transfer the saved file to your home computer (maybe by emailing it home) and import the file in the same way when you get home.

Sorry - I should have been clearer.

I mean from Gamebase. For example; I have a whole set of categories on one PC with favourites, playable, great music etc saved for gamebase 64 and gamebase Amiga. I'd like to transfer these to another PC.

i think it should just be a case of copying all the .mdb files over the default ones, assuming this is where this data is stored?

Thanks!

That should do it. Just make a copy of the files you are about to write over, jic.
