Always make sure you make a backup copy of your data before updating.
The data file to backup is called
TATEMS2005be.mdb and is normally located in the:
C:\Program Files\TATEMS 2005
Folder. (It might also be on a network drive if you are networked. You can see the data file you are accessing before you update by clicking on Tools->Networking)
You can just right click on the file and choose copy and then paste it back into the same folder or another folder to create a backup copy.
There is also a backup feature in TATEMS 2005 and TATEMS 20/20 if you go to File->Backup and Compact Data
Make sure TATEMS is closed and then after downloading the file you can double-click it to unzip the files:
into:
C:\Program Files\TATEMS 2005
If you are UPDATING TATEMS on a NETWORK you will need to re-link to the data file after the update by going to
“Tools->Networking” from within TATEMS
If you go to Tools ->Networking before updating you will be able to see where the data file is located. Write down the path and then use that information after the update to re-link to the data file.
