Notes about the DATA.MDB file

All the information that you enter into WorkExpo is stored in a single data file. This file’s default name is DATA.mdb (although you can name it anything you like) and it normally resides in the C: \Program Files\WorkExpo folder. This file contains all your important WorkExpo information and should be carefully backed-up regularly. Always back-up the data file after each session.

Back-up strategies

WorkExpo will create a backup copy of your data file when you exit the program. To ensure this select OPTIONS, then Backup maintenance.

It's a good idea to have two copies of your data file in case one is lost or unusable.

You should have a backup copy of your data file on floppy as well as a separate backup copy on the hard drive or preferably on the network.

You can open data files directly in WorkExpo. Follow these instructions to do so:

1. In WorkExpo select OPEN from the FILE menu.
2. Navigate to the data file you wish to use.
3. The default file DATA.MDB normally resides in C:\Program Files\WorkExpo or wherever you store the WorkExpo data file.

How to copy a WorkExpo data file from one computer to another

1. Make sure WorkExpo is closed.
2. Use Windows Explorer to copy the file DATA.MDB to a floppy disk.
3. Place the floppy disk in the drive of the second computer.
4. Use Windows Explorer to copy the file DATA.MDB to C:\Program Files\WorkExpo or wherever you store the WorkExpo data file

The path to the data file you're using can be displayed in the title bar.  Select OPTIONS/Settings to set this.
