Exporting Data from Flockbase

Exporting the Database:

  1. When you open Flockbase it will first open a window that show where the "Data Path" is. This is a path to the Access DB.
  2. Close Flockbase and navigate to the "Data Path" directory.
  3. Copy the database file (it will have a .MDB extension) to another location.
  4. You can now use Microsoft Access to open the copied .MDB file.
  5. If you decide to have us import the data, simply zip up the database. Do this by right clicking on the COPY of .MDB file and selecting Send To -> Compressed (Zipped) Folder.
