How to convert Medisoft .MBK to .ADT?

by Erik Eckel . Updated 15 years, 6 months ago

Anyone know how to convert Medisoft files?

I have a client whose Win9x hard disk (and floppy drive) failed. I’ve replaced the failed components and have Win9x back up and running, but I’m having trouble getting the client’s Medisoft program (v7.02) back to normal. Whenever I try to load Medisoft an error message appears stating the database couldn’t be opened (which of course, it can’t, because I haven’t had a chance to convert the .MBK to .ADT).

The client has a backup file (kept on a USB keychain). The backup data is stored as an .MBK, but the client software seeks an .ADT file.

I’ve backed up the backup to another desktop (as the only remaining copy was on the USB keychain), and the next order of business is to get the backup converted from an .MBK to an .ADT.

Any help is appreciated, as Medisoft no longer appears to offer v7.02 support on its site (the company’s now promoting v12).

Thanks.
