Thanks for all your tips, I'll try them out as of today! - Btw, I know the db is not encrypted because when I check using the C/Java access API it says it's not encrypted and freely accessible.
Thanks again, I'll let you know how it goes

Hi Alberto,

* Do you know that db v1 is not encrypted?

* Strange that Convert_1_2 does not works ... Many people have used it during years to convert.

* I have upload juts only into prev_releases yet version 4.5.1
Please check if it still have Convert_1_2 if yes please try it, maybe some fixes could be.

* on FTP yet I see 2.5.10 build. The most close to 1.x
In that times the most popular was V4RB and V4MD products.
V4RB - for REALbasic
and in Examples it have hade example Export/Import to export into CVS files, or XML file.


To run it, I guess it needs find old enough REALBasic
REALbasic becomes Xojo in 2013.
Our V4RB was stable for years.

Yes, I used that version - I downloaded it from the 'previous releases' section.
I tried a couple of different functionalities:
(i) File -> Open Database -> Select .vdb file (Nothing happens)
(ii) Utilities -> Convert_1_2 (It stops after a couple of seconds because of an 'unknown error' and creates a 3.x version of the db with just the first three rows)
The db I'm trying to get the articles from consists of a few files: a .vdb file, a .blb file, a .ind file and a .dat file.
Thanks for the help,
Alberto

Hello Alberto,

Did you use Valentina Studio 3.5.3 for Windows?
