Tips
Copying Data between Projects in RockWorks16
There a several tools you can use to copy data between project databases in RockWorks 16:
1) When creating the new project: One of the options when creating a new project folder (database) in RockWorks is to Create New Project with Data or Settings from Existing Project. This allows you to choose some/all tables for some/all boreholes to bring into the new database.
2) Export some/all data for some/all holes in the source database to Excel (File | Export | Multiple Tables | Excel). Then import those data into the new project (File | Import | Excel | Multiple Tables).
3) The Project Folder | Move Project program copies the entirety of an existing project folder (all files, settings, database) to a new folder, with the option of removing the original folder or not.
