Problem: I bought the Gold edition and now I want to import all my sightings from version 3.5 (which is on a separate computer.) How do I do this?

Solution: The Sightings (and Custom Lists) in version 3.5 are found at this location on your computer's hard drive:
C Drive
Documents and Settings [NOT Program files]
All Users
Application Data
Thayer Birding Software

Double-click on Thayer Birding Software and you will see a file named database.mdb

Copy this large file to a memory stick or other portable device. Then install this database.mdb file on the desktop of your new computer.

Open the Gold version of the software, click File and click Import From Previous Version...
Then enter database.mdb in the box and click OK.
