Importing and Exporting Profiles, Meal Plans or Recipes from Popular Health,

Diet and Fitness Programs

WARNING: HealthKeeper is a new product line. Health-RunR software personal data files from any version will NOT import into HealthKeeper without causing severe errors. If you would like to use your earlier databases from Health-RunR in your new HealthKeeper, our programmers will manually convert your old databases into the new HealthKeeper format for a fee of $40.

The HealthKeeper was designed to accommodate many popular commercial health, diet and fitness programs. It can be customized to reflect specific recommendations, recipes, meal plans and other favorite and specialty food lists, which can then be provided for clients on a floppy disk. This disk would contain all the profile and other information pre-set to your specific health and fitness needs.

If you have been given such a floppy disk, please read through and then use the following instructions.

  1. Locate the HealthKeeper files called (Profiles.mdb and recipes.mdb, MedTrack***.mdb and Journal*) where *** is your user identification number. Find your ID number by opening Profiles.mdb, double-clicking on the Users table and getting the User ID from the field next to your name. Use the Windows Find feature if necessary. Note the directory and/or sub-directory where these files are installed.

  2. Move these files to another directory and save them in case you want to go back to them at some future date.

  3. From the floppy disk or e-mail that was sent to you, copy the same files of the same names to the exact same directory and/or sub-directory that you located in Step 1.

  4. Start the program and begin learning how to use it, but ignore only the instructions regarding creating a Personal Profile. Yours was provided by the organization that created your floppy disk. (You may need to edit or add personal information if this was a non-individualized program profile).

  5. To make disk or e-mail transfers of the profile.mdb and recipe.mdb database files easier, we recommend you always zip them first. These database files will normally zip down to about 1/6 to 1/8 of their normal unzipped size.

Please Note: HealthKeeper Inc. is not legally responsible for health and fitness recommendations made by any other program or individual and given to you in any form.
