I have a network in my business that includes three computers ... my main computer got a virus so when my computer guy came over to fix it he said he had to wipe it clean that was bad news for me because I had lost the disc to install imagic again so i had to buy the software again ... he saved a back up on one of my other computers ... but now that i have installled the software again i dont know how to retrieve my back up ... can you help me please

You'd need to copy the database file, db.mdb, from your backup to the Database Folder. To find the Database Folder select Help/About and click "Database".

Note that if you used the File/Backup Database command the file may have been renamed with the date of the backup. In this case you'd need to rename the file back to db.mdb after copying it to the Database Folder.

If you are using Windows 7 or Windows Vista and the above folder is in the "Program Files" folder you'll need to click on the "Compatibility Folder" button to open the actual folder.
