Material Library

I want to load my materials from 1 computer to another but I can't find the location of this information in the computer anywhere. I have moved all my seed cabinets and draw boxes but would like to move my materials also.

Any help would very much be appreciated.

Rick thanks for posting. Your link is not working for me. Could you post it again?

I have looked in that folder already. All that is in there are the materials that came with the software. I am looking for the materials that I added. (sheet goods)

Thanks,
Mike

Did you try going in to your search on your computer and ask for sheet goods

The sheet material info is in the ecabinets.mdb file. Guess what the "mdb" stands for?

Probably the easiest way to move this information is through the eCabs backup/restore feature. To get the "mdb" file onto the second machine you will need to have the overwrite checkbox selected.

I know what you're thinking Joe, but its not "materials database."

It is the extension that Microsoft uses for all database files. eCabinets stores the materials in a Microsoft Access database.

Hey, it was a good guess.

It sounds good, too.

Thanks for the help but I still can't find it.

I looked everywhere.

If I am not mistaken, your Material Library data is in "C:\Program Files\Thermwood\eCabinet Systems\ECabinets.mdb".

Hope this helps.

The correct and "safe" way to do this is to use the Backup/Restore ability with eCabinet Systems. Do a complete Backup on one system then use the Backup Directory from the initial pc as your directory to perform a Restore on your other pc.
