4.10. I'm getting an error message while trying to import my 1.98 data that says "Table does not exist".

Q:  I'm trying to import my data from 1.98 into the new version, but I keep getting an error message that says "Table does not exist".  The import then stops and EstiMate says it needs to be restarted.  What "Table" is missing, and how do I fix it so I can import my data?

 

A:  Depending on which version of EstiMate 1 you started with and/or which plugins you have enabled you may be missing some database tables from you EstiMate 1 Data folder.  During the import process EstiMate 2 looks for these known tables, but if it doesn't find them it aborts the import.  The error message you see in EstiMate 2 will also indicate wich tables are missing.  It will look something like this:

"Table does not exist: C:\Program Files\EstiMate\Data\Threads.db".

The solution is fairly straight forward, you simply need to add the missing files to your current EstiMate 1 Data folder. The most common missing files are the "Threads" database tables if you started with a very early version of EstiMate or you never had the Embroidery plugin enabled.

We have made these files available on this page for you to download and place in your EstiMate 1 Data folder.

To download the files:

• Click on the link to each file, and if your web browser will allow it you can save them directly to your EstiMate 1 Data folder.  If your web browser just saves them to the Desktop then you can copy and paste them or drag and drop them into the EstiMate 1 Data folder after you've finished downloading all of them.

(By default your EstiMate 1 data folder is located at "C:\Program Files\EstiMate\Data", but if you moved it so it could be shared on your network, or just because you wanted it in a different location then you will need to locate the folder and save the files there.  If you are unsure where you data folder is located you can open EstiMate 1 and click File > Network Setup and you will see the path to your current data folder).

After you have inserted the missing files you can open EstiMate 2 and try the import again.
