Hi Juan and Daniel

What you have to do is as follows.

1) Best to have the .df1 datafile that you want to convert in the same folder that you have your library.

2) Open you library with the command button depressed as per my note. This stops the datafile being loaded. If the library has not been converted it will ask to convert it



3) With the converted library still without its datafile loaded, go to Tools (on top line of Omnis, see above) - Add ons - Convert data file to RDMS.

4) A window opens where you select what type of SQL file you want to convert your data to. On the right of the window near the top is an icon which when depressed allows you to select the .df1 file to convert.

5) When you have selected it you see the files that will be worked on and if anything look wrong you can stop there and sort it out in .df1

6) A new icon has appeared below the previous one you have just used which flashes at you. click on it and your SQL datafile will be made.

7) After the conversion, remove the .df1 file to make sure that you do not open it in error.

Doing the means that you should not try to start a SQL file and then try dragging data into it.

Then follow my notes for further action

Martin
