If you would like to backup your Quik! Forms Library user data, follow the instructions below.

The files that you will back up include your rep information, form group information and system settings. Backing up your files is recommended before uninstalling Quik! or upgrading to a new version, though upgrading will usually back up your files for you.

Detailed Instructions:

1. Find where you installed Quik!... Using your Windows Explorer, search for the folder that contains the quik.exe file. The default location is "C:\Program Files\Quik Forms Library\".
   
   
2. Open the System folder... Within the same folder as quik.exe is a System folder (default "C:\Program Files\Quik Forms Library\System\"). There are nine files you may want to backup:
   
   - afapp.ini
   - afapp.bak
   - dflpdb.afb
   - grpdat.afb
   - quik.eti
   - setpdb.afb
   - uridta.afb
   - urnodta.afb
   
   In addition, one other file can be found in the Download folder (default "C:\Program Files\Quik Forms Library\Download\"):
   
   - UpdateFile.txt
   
   
3. Copy these files to Archive... Within the same folder as the quik.exe is another folder called Archive (default "C:\Program Files\Quik Forms Library\Archive\"). Copy each of the files listed above to this folder as a backup. To copy files, simply select each file, and choose Copy from the Edit menu. To place these files in the Archive folder, select the Archive folder and choose Paste from the Edit menu.
   
   
4. Finish... With your files backed up, you can continue using Quik!, installing a new version or uninstalling Quik!.
   
   
5. Restoring Files... If you need to restore these files, simply follow these directions in reverse - copy your files from the Archive folder and paste them into your System and Download folder (make sure each file goes in it's original location).
