Update incompatible fic Files

Just to say I'm new to windev so the problem may well be due to wrong use of the software.

I have the following Problem:
I programmed a piece of software using the standard fic database files. This software is currently in use eventhough is not quite complete. I was now forced to update parts of the Database (adding some rows and keys).
The fic files that are currently in use are now not anymore compatible with the programm.

Is there an easy way to update the old fic files to make them compatible with the changes?

Hi

if you use the installer system coming with windev, just check the
checkbox to automatically update your DB structure without loosing data
during the installation of the new version


If you don't use it, then you can do it by code with hModifyStructure

Best regards

Friend
What I do sometimes is open the data structure, change something in the record an close the data structure, the RAD will fix the File to the new structure, then go back and replace the record as was original and close, the RAD will fix again the file with the new structure.

Hope will work for you.
