Getting hands from my old computer

[ptlover7]

After a few years and 200,000 hands on my old computer, I recently loaded pt2 onto my laptop. I did not save the hand histories on the C drive of my old comp but did transfer them to pt2 over the years. Is there anyway I can transfer some of those hands from pt2 on my old computer to pt2 on my new laptop?

Have you already imported hands into the database on the laptop now or is it empty?

I started from scratch on my new llatop and have around 2200 hands in. By the way, the only reason I want to get the old hands in because I thing that PHUD will recognize those hands played and tell me about them as soon as players I've already played in previous tournaments arrive at my table. If I am mistaken in this, then it's not important for me to transfer the hands . Thanks.

Copy the files listed here to a new folder on your laptop, call the new folder something like c:\old_pt_files

viewtopic.php?f=30&t=1369

Once you do that, open the File > Maintain Database Names window in PT.
Click the Add button.
Enter a description and in the last field choose "Select existing Access database".
Navigate to the c:\old_pt_files folder and select one of the database files there that starts with "ptrack" (i.e. ptrack.mdb)
If you have multiple "ptrack" database files (i.e. ptrack2.mdb, ptrack3.mdb) then you will need to repeat these steps to link each one of them.

Now, once you have all these linked, you need to link them in PokerAce too as described here...

Hi Pat. I am moving to a new computer like the OP here. The difference is that my old db's are postgresql. In the second part of that link you gave it says what to do for postgresql users. However, I don't have access to my old computer in order to create a backup like it says. The old hard drive is in my new computer however with all my .mdb's Is there some other way to do this? Thanks

The MDB's would be your old Access database files, they aren't going to be current since you have been using PostgreSQL. If you have no way to backup the PostgreSQL db's and don't have any backups you have made saved somewhere else then I'm afraid you won't be able to recover that data. You can still use your old Access db's to at least recover something.
