Converting from Client Server Version of PMAPS

Converting PMAPS Client/Server FoxPro to PMAPS WebPro SQL
These instructions are for current clients who are migrating from the PMAPS Client/Server version
(MS VFP backend) to PMAPS WebPro (SQL backend).
This option can be run multiple times as it updates any changes from the Client/Server version of
PMAPS to WebPro. Example: If you edit documents in the Client/Server version after you have
already completed this migration, you can re-run this utility and it will update only those records that
have changed.
1. Create a sub-folder called \\servername\PMAPS WebPro\convertfoxpro\PMAPS where
you have unzipped the ConvertFoxPro folder.
2. Copy the complete root folder of the PMAPS Client/Server application along with the Word
sub-folder to this new PMAPS folder.
3. Copy the file “Webproconvert.exe” from the root “\ConvertFoxPro” folder to this new
folder \\servername\PMAPS WebPro\convertfoxpro\pmaps and run it. If you receive an
error that you need the “Visual FoxPro library files” please download and run this setup file
on the server. www.proposalsoftware.com/pmaps2008/setup.exe
4. Open the “\ConvertFoxPro” folder.
5. Run the “VFPOLEDBSetup.msi” setup file to allow the ODBC connection. This only has
to be run once, not every time you need to update the WebPro data.
6. Run the file \\servername\PMAPSWebPro\convertfoxpro\foxproconversion.exe
