Thanks for the post. In my case, I installed a fresh Win7 on a new disk with MyMovies 3.12. Did not want to boot from WinXP disk with MyMovies 2.5x to export the DB. Created a DB for the new MyMovies 3.12 to find the Win 7 path for DB and Files. Then copied the FileStorage and SQL Data directories to the new locations and disk. MyMovies recognized the old versions of stuff on startup and converted everything over. Saved a lot of time and headache. Nice design on MyMovies to do that. And amazing that the SQL DB files just needed to be in place with the right file name to be picked up — no special lock keys or such.

Thanks for this post – while I didn’t need to move my database, the information nonetheless helped me troubleshoot and fix a problem I was having with my movies.
