I have recently installed the version 7 upgrade. I have tried to convert the recipes I had on V5 to the new ver7, however, whenever I try to do so, when I go to the convert screen I click the "Browse for V5 database" I get the window saying "Please select the v5 database", I select MyRecipes ( which I know works because I've opened Ver 5 and the recipes are still there) Then I get an error message saying "This is not a v5Recipe Database". When I select Recipes (this also still opens in Ver 5) the message I get says "Cannot convert Recipes.mdb.Please copy the recipes to another v5 Database and convert that."
As far as the ver 5 program is concerned both of these are recipe databases which can be opened in the program. I have no idea how to get my recipes into the new Ver 7 without going through the tedious process of having both programs open at the same time and cuting and pasting.
