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.

Open the File > Maintain Database Names window. Double-click on the name field for "My First Poker Tracker Database" and it will open a window to tell you the file size and name of the file. What are those?
