When you upgrade to Version 4, Email Marketing Pro copies a brand new database for storing contacts and messages.
Your old Email Marketing Pro database is still on your hard drive, with all the data in it, but the data cannot be accessed by the new version.
Therefore, if you have saved any campaigns, messages, and contacts in the old version, they will not be used by the new version unless you export them first.
The reason is that major updates were made to Email Marketing Pro’s Database with version 4.
To upgrade, follow these simple steps:
1) Back up any contacts you have by going under Contacts > Export Contacts
2)Back up any messages you want to save. Use the Save icon in the Message Editor to save the message as an .htm file. Or, switch to the code view of the html message and copy/paste the html code of the message into Notepad and save it.
3) Next, install Version 4 and re-import your contacts by going to Contacts > Import Contacts
4) To re-import any messages from the old version, simply use the Open Folder icon to open messages saved as an .htm file. Or switch to the code view in the message editor and paste the html code that you saved into the code view of the new message.
If you forgot to export your contacts, don’t panic.
In the new version of Email Marketing Pro, do this:
1) Go to Contacts > Import Contacts
2) Select Microsoft Access Database as the import type.
3) Browse to your old Email Marketing Pro database. The database is located in a file located at:
C:\Users\[Your User Name\AppData\Roaming\EMP\DBPro.mdb (on Vista and Windows 7) or
C:\Documents and Settings\[Your User Name]\EMP\DBPro.mdb (Windows XP0
4) Re-import the contacts from the table called Contacts.
