I’ve never had a compelling reason to move from V1 until now. Just purchased V4 but now I need to know if there’s any way to upgrade V1 projects (.atpz extension)? Batch Upgrade doesn’t recognise these as being Automise projects. ---

Hi Marty, Its interesting that your experiencing version one files not being picked up by the batch updater. It should recognize files with the extensions of \*.atp and \*.atz which are both Automise 1 project file extensions. What is the error your seeing when you attempt the update? ---

Problem solved.  All of my projects were saved as .aptz . These are compressed projects and this extension is not part of the search spec for Batch Upgrade. I can save them all as uncompressed / .apt and the Batch Upgrade picks it up perfectly. Marty.
