When I try to migrate a database to ElevateDB using the ElevateDB Manager, the combo box does not contain any migrators. Why are there no migrators ?

1. ElevateDB includes the following migrator modules:

ModuleDescription
edbmigratedbisam1DBISAM Version 1.x migrator module
edbmigratedbisam2DBISAM Version 2.x migrator module
edbmigratedbisam3DBISAM Version 3.x migrator module
edbmigratedbisam4DBISAM Version 4.x migrator module
edbmigratebdeBDE (Borland Database Engine) migrator module
edbmigrateadoADO (Microsoft ActiveX Data Objects) migrator module
edbmigratendbNexusDB migrator module
edbmigrateadbADS (Advantage Database Server) migrator module

You can find these migrator modules as part of the ElevateDB Additional Software and Utilities (EDB-ADD) installation in the \libs subdirectory under the main installation directory. There are ANSI and Unicode versions of each of the migrators.

2. Start the appropriate version of the ElevateDB Manager (edbmgr.exe). If you wish to migrate to an ANSI ElevateDB database, then you should click on the link for the "ElevateDB Manager". If you wish to migrate to a Unicode ElevateDB database, then you should click on the link for the "ElevateDB Manager (Unicode)".
