Open version 1 database

Post by miloske85 »

I have used EPIM 1.0 or 1.5 for years (not sure which), without upgrading and then I've switched to Linux (long time ago). I thought that I have exported everything, but I haven't. Being an experienced and careful user, I kept backups of EPIM database on several different mediums and on several different places. What I haven't backed up though is the EPIM program itself. Now the hard drive on my laptop appears to be corrupt and the only other copies of EPIM.exe are miles away, in my hometown.

I've search all over the internet and I couldn't find EPIM 1.5 or 1.0. Could you please help me find these old versions, or at least tell me how I can upgrade the old database. I've managed to find EPIM 2.8, but it is also unable to open my database. Is there another way I could yank my data out.

Thanks in advance

For a bit of nostalgia went and loaded Version 1.5, loved the way you could add extra Contact Address Fields, (a Facility no longer available, Why)

There's still the "Add Fields" button available even in the latest version. So, not sure what you mean when saying "a Facility no longer available"..

Yes I know about the "Add Fields" Button but you cannot add an extra Field to the set of fields that make up the Address sections can you?

Yeah I know, I have asked on numerous occasions but with no joy.

I have 1 address that requires 7 Lines and have to put them into 5 Boxes also many Addresses with 6 lines.

But no point in requesting as it`s always ignored.

I disagree, there's a point as we always listen. This isn't the first request about the feature, so we will implement it in one of the future versions of the program.
