Re: Problems updating to EPIM Pro 10.2.1

If you look at "many" programs that are being currently updated, to work well with Windows 10 & 11, beyond epim, you'll see posts re: program updates having problems re: Win 7 & Win 8. Honestly, you should get on a Win 10 machine, new ones can be had cheap and used ones, "very...

Re: Backup DB did not succeed EPIM 10.0.2

re: "you don't need to worry about inability of EPIM to create additional backups" (due to Dropbox use), as well, I think it is common sense (for any database program) to routinely make and store "visible and known" database backup files, with certainty on what folder is being ch...

Re: Backup DB did not succeed EPIM 10.0.2

It seems you ran into issues concurrent with version 10.0.2?
If you have database backups, you can grab a prior program version here, that should get you functional:

Re: Backup DB did not succeed EPIM 10.0.2

Do you have a backup database that you can open in a 9.10 era program version? Seems something got corrupted along the way with the "hosted on Dropbox" method. I'd try to simplify things, and be diligent on the backups schedule, clear on folder locations etc.

Re: Backup DB did not succeed EPIM 10.0.2

Why don't you just operate on an earlier pre-version-10 program version? Run on a known good version for your needs, let things settle out. Seems you are beating your head against the wall, while not being technically savvy to hang with the troubles.

Re: Tool to bulk change fonts.

Hopefully you made a database backup before launching version 10... probably best to use an earlier program version for a while, with a saved database.

But you're complaining about a minor delay at start. On a weak old machine.

Re: EPIM on Laptop

re: "It doesn't seem to realise it is on a laptop so whenever I go back to it there is a connection box reporting errors. Is there a way to tell it to check it it's online before trying to collect email?" Honestly this makes no sense. A laptop is a PC. Look over your actual question again ...
