Re: Mc 32bit to 64bit/Database conversion
I think you misread the wiki page.I'm obviously in the #1 camp here, been using this platform sine 2005......so someone please explain in simple terms how this is done.......Thanks in advance for your help........
If you're using this:
The wiki says:I am currently running the latest ver. of Mc 8.8 R3/32 bit.
In other words, since your current 32-bit version is higher than MC 8.0 Beta 1, you don't need to do any transformation of the database.Database files from any 32-bit version, starting with MultiCharts 8.0 Beta 1 can be used in any 64-bit version, starting with MultiCharts 8.0 Beta 1 and vice versa without any transformation.
Follow the steps in the How to backup user data article for how to export the data in your 32bit database and import this in the database of the 64bit installation.
