We are committed to ensuring that your data remains the same as you migrate from Paper Tiger Desktop to Paper Tiger Online. The Database Imports can fail for a number of reasons. Some reasons may include:

1.  Pending Transfers:

For data to be consistent within a database file, all pending transactions must be confirmed. For the database file you are importing to be consistent, it must not contain any pending transfers. To learn more about how to clear pending transfers and preparing your database files for imports, visit Preparing your database for Paper Tiger Online and What types of files can I import

2.  Corrupt file:

Sometimes database files can become corrupt or inconsistent, particularly old archived database files. You may sometimes be required to make a new backup of your Paper Tiger database for it to import successfully. To learn more about how to create a new backup file visit Preparing your database for Paper Tiger Online

3.  File type:

 What types of files can I import

NOTE: There is a difference between uploading a file and importing a file. Uploading is transferring a file from one computer to another through a network. Importing is the process of taking an uploaded file and extracting the information to re-create the original database. A database upload may fail or take too long because of:

1.  Network problems

2.  File Size
