Reinstall BCM - Copy Categories to reinstalled BCM

[Randy]

I reinstalled BCM after reinstalling XP Home.
Import of BCM records via csv files gives error on category values I added
to the Category List.

How do I transfer the category items from the old BCM to the New BCM?

I still have the BCM on the 'Old' C Drive, so I can get to them.

Try doing a backup of the BCM on the old machine then put the backup file on
the new machine. At this point, in the Manage Database dialog box click on
the Restore Database. This should put the file as you had it on the new
machine.

audeyt,

I tried that and it doesn't bring the categories over.
Any other thoughts?

Randy, that was the only way I could think of that might work. So it does
not look like it is possible.
