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.
