PT2->PT3 migration... 4 hours and counting... argh!
Right - what a nightmare day so far...
First of all, I'm pretty computer literate, I have a degree, but I've done zero database stuff since 1992.
Tying to migrate from PT2 to PT3.
My database was the regular access database, not the SQL one, so I eventually found instructions no how to convert.
My PT3 installation was a With SQL one, so I had to completely uninstall postgreSQL and PT3, install PGSQL on its own, install PT3 WITHOUT PGSQL, configure it all manually for ODBC etc...
Finally I managed to get PT2 to start converting the database to PGSQL and after half an hour or so, it finally said...

ARGH!
...after which it said "*** User stopped the conversion, new database is being dropped" and stopped.
Please help... my head's spinning with all the ODBisCuits and SQuirreLs running around it.
