Thanks Frank!
You are a true blessing and a lifesaver! I'm hoping to at least get 09 up and running again and worry about 6 next week or so...
Thanks,
Karl

I decided to put EW-6 onto my work computer, just to play around with it when downtime comes. There I did the song conversion from 2009 and it worked fine. Every song came in, albiet without backgrounds of course. No problem.
I think I like the new database arrangement. Sorting under "Collections" is great once you get used to setting up the Collections. Up high in the window you have
SONGS
All Songs
which is where EVERYTHING YOU HAVE is located, raw and unsifted. Then below, under COLLECTIONS, I have set our up this way:
COLLECTIONS
Black Slide
Communion Stills
Countdowns
Welcome Slides
Worship Songs
The collection "Black Slide" has only one "song", which is just a black slide. We tend to use that a lot rather than the Black button, because we usually know when we're going to black anyhow. The rest of it is pretty common sense, and covers everything WE do on a regular Sunday morning.

how do you point the ew6 to the old database ???
Any idea on this?
Nevermind, found it.
How do you point EW6 to EW2009?
The images came across automatically but Songs have stayed where they are and cannot find obvious route.
Thanks

I assume you have the location of your EW 2009 profile that you want to import (if not check it in the Profile Manager in EW 2009).
You just have to close all applications - both EW2009 and EW6. You need to exit from the EW6 helper (check your status bar to see if the helper is running. If it is, right click and select "Exit". If it is not, check in the Task Manager that it is really not running (make sure there is no EasyWorshipHelper.exe running in your processes tab).
Go to the location of your EW 2009 profile, you should be able to find an additional folder with something like "v6.B.1" as the folder name. Remove that folder (as in delete it). If your EW6 profile name and EW 2009 profile name is the same and was pointing to the same location, then it should automatically ask if you want to convert it when you start EW6. If not, then you need to make sure you create a new profile with the same name as the EW2009, set as existing, and point to the EW2009 profile location. When you click ok, it should go to the created profile, and then ask if you want to convert it.

Hi,
I have just spent three hours trying to get the import to work and it does not. Here is what is happening:
1. EW2009 is installed, databases are okay, and I have done a rebuild database. Everything looks good.
2. I delete the v6.1 folder and close the EW6Helper.
3. Start EW6 and it opens with the Profile Editor. The v6.1 folder is created. There is a singe profile called "Defualt_1" which is not selected.
4. In the profile editor, touching any key on the keyboard at anytime causes EW6 to error with "Access Violation 0049862B in module 'EasyWorship.exe'. Read of address is 00000258." Even pressing the shift key causes this to occur so I cannot enter a different directory name or rename the profile. This is 100% consistent - it ALWAYS happens.
5. Kill EW6 and start again.
6. Select "Default_1" and click "Switch To". I then click "Convert Data". Icon spins for a few seconds and then stops.
7. "Default_1" is still not selected. I can repeat the "Switch To" process forever and the conversion never occurs.
8. Click "Close." EW6 is not open but the entire app screen is grep. The only buttons in the menu are "File", "Profiles" and "Help".
9. The profiles menu has two options: "Default_1" and "Profiles Manager...". Default_1 is NOT ticked.
10. Select "Default_1" and once again I get an offer to convert the database. Clicking "Convert Data" makes the icon spin for a few seconds then returns to the grey desktop. "Default_1" is NOT selected.
11. Go into "Profiles Manager.." and you get the same as before. "Switch To" offers to convert but does not. Entering any key whatsoever causes EW6 to crash.
If I choose to NOT convert I get a new, working, empty profile WITHOUT any of my data. It is selected in the "Profiles" menu. "Default_1" is still there and any attempts to select it result in failed conversion attempts (as before).
Can anyone tell me how to import my song data???

First make sure you have EasyWorship 2009 build 1.9, if not go to www.easyworship.com/support, download and install it.
Open EW 2009 once, close it and open EasyWorship 6.
If you already have 2009 build 1.9, do the following.
Close all versions of EasyWorship.
go to start, all programs, EasyWorship, Click Rebuild EasyWorship Database.
After EasyWorship 2009 opens, close it.
Right click on the EasyWorship 2009 icon on the desktop, click on properties.
On the shortcut tab, in the target field, arrow to the end of the path to EasyWorship.exe and make sure the cursor is after the quotes.
Type in a space, then /convertdatabase
Click apply.
double click the EasyWorship 2009 icon.
The database will convert and EW will open.
Close EasyWorship 2009.
Delete or rename the appropriate data folder and reopen EW 6.

Hi,
EW 2009 was already 1.9.
EW 6 was just updated to 6.1.6.0.
I followed your instructions to the letter. The changed EW 2009 shortcut does a conversion on start. Your "Delete or rename the appropriate data folder" instruction is a bit vague and I took a guess and deleted the v6.1 folder inside Default_1 - please correct me if this is wrong. There is only one profile folder.
At the end of the day, this process does NOT work. Despite the instructions AND the update to the latest version of EW6 it still crashes in the Profiles screen (when a key is pressed) and conversion still does not work. I cannot load any of my existing data from 2009 into 6.
I MUST have this working for a test run we are planning this weekend (our last opportunity to do so). Please help!
