Upgrading a Multi db

Upgrades from v4 to v5 are automatic
You don't have to know what version of Multi software you are upgrading, only that a message
appears for upgrades from earlier versions of v2 or v3 software, as explained in the next
procedure.
Tip
Downgrading a Multi db is not supported.

Upgrading a Local Database

Purpose of a local database
When View runs, it uses a partial copy of the Multi db. The copy is stored on the PC's drive. The
local database can be updated (refreshed) if the PC running View is connected to the Multi db.
Tip
A local database is upgraded automatically when the user of View has an open connection
to the Multi db. If the connection is not available (laptop PCs, temporary setups and so on),
use the information in this section.
Mobile users
You can upgrade View's local db without connecting to the Multi db.

To Upgrade a Local Database, without a Connection to the Multi Db

1. Before upgrading View, use Windows Explorer to locate the [user].mdb file(s) on the PC. For
example, if a user account called "night operator" is used to log on to View, look for a
"nightwatch.mdb" file. These files need to be moved after the Multi software upgrade.
