Moving to another computer
« on: July 17, 2008, 08:12:37 PM »

I am changing my computer. I will reinstall active home pro however I would not like to lose my settings. What files do I need to copy over to the new computer to retain my settings?

Not just the myhome.ahx file, but any .ahx file you may have created.

As a regular task, always back up the .ahx files you have created to another drive or flash disk every time you make a change.   You do not have to back up myhome.ahx or samples.ahx, they are created by the AHP install program.

Yeah they're pretty small. My main one is STR.ahx but then I have STR-backup, STR-DEV, STR-TEST, and a couple dozen more. If they weren't so small, I 'd probably erase all but the latest few.

I have 10 .ahx files for different times of the year.  That's why I always back them up.
