Importing Files from Charismateks Function Point WORKBENCH^TM

What versions of FPW will it import?

SCOPE will import from all versions of the Function Point Workbench from version 4.0 and to the latest FPW version 7.

Will SCOPE import all my previous count data from the Function Point Workbench? Will anything be lost?

All count data, labels and notes are imported into SCOPE. All your count information is retained and can be immediately updated using SCOPE. The import takes from about 2 seconds to several minutes for counts greater than 80,000 function points. There is no limit to the size of the FPW database that SCOPE can import.

I tried importing from my FPW database but get an error message, what am I doing wrong?

The Function Point WORKBENCH^TM database uses superseded DOS based technology that only allows short pathnames' to locate its directories. SCOPE is therefore restricted by this older structure and needs to locate the FPW database directly below a Root directory. If you are having trouble importing, then copy the whole FPW databases (all 42 files) over to a directory under your root directory. Eg. C:/Temp FPW/
Then import by selecting this new directory.
