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) V2.2 and later: click the "update datafile" button.
- Follow the steps to link to your old datafile (v2.1 and earlier: 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 Part A" button and follow the pop-up instructions carefully.
- In the datafile:
- Click the "Update Datafile Part B" 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_2.2.xltm file from your new ZDN Support Files > Templates folder to your existing Templates folder
