If you read the help in encore pro (scary thought I know) it talks about being able to import and export files between two encore pro data bases

I have to admit I haven't tried it thought I have thrown data from my encore into a spread sheet and then combined files from that.

Yes i have tried that with the export and inport tabs but when i go to inport the file to the other pc i always get that nice meassage that says ERROR can not read that file.

are they both running same OS?

are they networked or do you have file on disk?

can you read other kinds of files you have on the stick on both computers?

Thank you

George,

I used 'Export Patient' in the left frame to export a large .xml file to my jump drive. I don't think that this is the type file you would import to Encore Pro because if you click on 'Import Encore File', the file type is .enc? I cannot find an .enc file on my computer? I am using EP 1.5. What is the file name for the Encore Pro database? Where is it stored, generally?

Jerry

No it does not ask me for a enc file just .xml

did you try to use the EncorePro.mdf file hidden away in the Microsoft SQL server folder?
