Toolbox upgrade questions

[SoilentG]

Guys & Gals, I've poked around and haven't found exactly what I'm looking for... so I hope you don't mind me asking here. Here's a quick history:

1) We have Toolbox SW2006 installed on a network drive and it is shared. No issues in SW2006.

2) When we upgraded a couple of stations to SW2007 we now get the Toolbox database is not of the correct version. Although the parts still open up fine.

3) On both installations when it asked where the toolbox was located we didn't point it to the network drive and left it to the default local and then editted the Toolbox\toolbox.ini file in the SW2007 install directory.

So... the questions:

A) Should we have pointed to the actual Toolbox location on the network during the install? (We still have three stations to upgrade so we can do it then.)

B) Does the SW2007 installation convert or overwrite the Toolbox database?

Thanks for your patience and responses.

If you point to it during install....it will convert the database which means it can longer be used by Swx 2006.

Thanks... just did the Modify install of one of the existing stations and it converted the DB. Woot! We're up and running in SW2007, SP2.0!

I didn't even know that modify tool existed until I was getting errors in SW07:
