I am trying to save Amazing Charts data as my employer is moving to Cerner EMR. I am afraid they will destroy AC data on my desktop. I have backed up AC to a thumb drive. How do I migrate it to my personal laptop (not networked to desktop)? I no longer have AC support.

Basically you make your laptop into the server. Get your original installer and make it a main computer. Then restore a backup of your database to the laptop. Detailed steps below.

1) Backup all FILES (.docs, .xls, .etc)
2) Run AC Backup Utility, include everything Imports, Signatures, etc.
3) Install new computers with desired programs, latest updates, etc. and copy files ONLY back
4) Install Amazing Charts latest version
5) Run Amazing Charts from the Program Files folder as an ADMINISTRATOR (Do not click the icon on your desktop)
C:\Program Files\Amazing Charts (32 bit/x86)
C:\Program Files (x86)\Amazing Charts (64 bit/x64)
6) Enter some bogus data temporarily during the setup wizard
7) Close AC and open the Amazing Charts Program folder again from above
8) Run the Backup Restore Utility and browse to your database (full .enc file) (you need the admin password)
9) After restore is complete, run AC as an administrator again. Login to verify information is present.

I did as suggested, took the AC and imported items data to a laptop when I changed practice. I will say, I have not needed it in 6 months.

dont lose your laptop! major hipaa breach, big fines/bad press, etc. imported items just sit unprotected in a directory. i'd encrypt the whole drive and password protect it - ask sandeep how to do it.
