The answer to my problem is probably super-easy (except to me); in April 2008 I bought QReportBuilder, version 8, learned how to use it, created one report and have used that report weekly since then. Have never created another report and never downloaded any updates. Last weekend I clicked on the QRB symbol and instead of it opening I got a message "please wait while QRB copies files to the target folder". I waited a few minutes but nothing happened. I cancelled out and re-opened QRB again - got same message again. This time I proceeded (can't remember what I did to do this) and got the message "The target folder contains the following files which will have to be overwritten in order to create a new database. Are you sure you want to overwrite these files?" I said YES. Eight hours later it was done and it let me into the home page. A new project had been created named "Default" but my old project was no longer there - nor was the single report I have been using for 3+ years.
How should I proceed? Is the old project and my report still there but QRB can't find it or must I start all over again? Between the last time I ran this report successfully (2 weeks ago) and last weekend (unsuccessful) there were no updates, cleanups, or any new downloads or other activity to my computer.
I do have a thumb drive backup (from Oct 2010) of QReportBuilder; it contains a folder "QReportBuilderData" with a sub-folder "ProfilesPC.qrb" (ProfilesPC is the name of the project I've been using to run the report for 3+ years) � hopefully my report instructions are contained within this project. So maybe all I have to do is copy this folder from the thumb-drive to the "QreportBuilderData" folder on my hard drive. Then hopefully I won't get that message again that created this situation in the first place.
I am not very computer savvy and therefore get stuck on what to do next quite easily; any guidance would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks much,
