RE: how to copy Client Access macros etc. from old PC to new PC

Nothing I'm aware of.

Should be easy enough to use Notepad++ or another scan/replace utility to update the paths accordingly in the .ws or other files to point to the new location.

subject: how to copy Client Access macros etc. from old PC to new PC

Hi,

I have a client who has an older version of Client Access 32-bit
installed under Windows XP ... now they are trying to migrate to a newer
version of IBM Client Access under Windows 7 64-bit ...

How can they copy all of their "macros" and configuration files, e.g.:

??? .ws??? workstation emulator profiles
??? .bch??? emulator batch files
??? .kmp??? keyboard maps
??? ..pmp??? poppad files

etc.? from the old PC to the new PC, so they will "work" with Client
Access on that machine?

It seems these files have embedded "path? names" that reflect the old
directory structure under e.g. c:\Program? Files and now the Client
Access software appears to get installed under "C:\Program files (x86)"
and that seems to invalidate those internally stored path names.

Does Client Access provide some kind of EXPORT and IMPORT capability or
some other method to copy all of these files and at the same time
convert any internally stored path names so they will "work" properly on
the? new system?

Please advise.

Thanks in advance.
