IMPORTANT:
If your reinstalling on the same computer, make sure you have a Backup of your data before reinstalling or you will loose your data.
 If you don’t have a backup, as a last resort, it may be possible to Restore from the AutoBackups.

To load your current data into the software, you will need to have a backup that was created from the Software’s Backup function of the Database Maintenance screen, (DO NOT back up to a CD or restore data made from a CD). If you do not have a backup of your data, you will not be able to get your information loaded into the software.
