Upgrading older datafiles
From ZDN User Guide
If you have not yet changed/added any data.
- Simply replace your existing ZDN program and files with the new versions
- Remove both the old version and the ZDN Support Files folder
- Download new version
- Follow original installation instructions
If you HAVE entered data about your zoo, feeds, animals, or diets...
*New* simpler update process for version 2.1 and beyond:
- In ZDN:
- Open up the new version of ZDN
- Go to Settings (or the Settings Setup pop-up that appears if no datafile is linked yet)
- Follow the steps to link to your old datafile BUT click "NO" when asked if you want to load the new file. If you do accidentally click Yes, cancel out of all the errors and repeat this step.
- Click the "Update datafile" button sand follow the instructions.
- Quit ZDN
- In the datafile:
- Open the datafile you just updated (ZDN Support Files folder > Datafiles)
- Click the "Update Datafile Step 2" button.
- Quit the datafile
- Reopen ZDN, and relink it (in Settings) to your updated datafile.
You may want to move two files from the new ZDN Support Files folder to your existing installation:
- Move the NaviGatorIcon3.ico file from your new ZDN Support Files > Images folder to your existing Images folder
- Move the new DietAnalysis_2.1.xltm file from your new ZDN Support Files > Templates folder to your existing Templates folder
