Scenario:
*You have been using Daylite on the old (another) computer.
*You have moved to a new computer and cannot find your database
*Your old computer has 'crashed' and 'irreparable' OR
you have simply decided to move to a newer computer,
and your old computer still functions perfectly.

If the above scenario matches your situation, then you may be trying
to connect to a database which is still in the old computer. You can
continue with the following instructions.

It is important to remember that Daylite uses a database to
store and retrieve all of the data that you enter, modify or view.
Therefore, the database will have to be copied over to the newer
computer in addition to downloading and installing the same
version of Daylite on the new computer.

 
Solutions:
1.0) If you are not concerned about the data that is in the old database,
then go ahead and create a new database on the new computer.
