Why won't my AFS desktop software archive planter data from a datacard?
 

This answer applies only to data recorded with a black-and-white planter monitor.

You may experience this problem if your datacard contains a folder that was created when it was used for harvest data. When the datacard was used for a previous harvest and has a "Combines" folder in the "*.cnh" folder, the AFS software sees the "Combines" folder and assumes that all data on the card is harvest data.

To correct this problem, use Windows Explorer to delete the "Combines" folder from the card.

Use the following procedure to delete the "Combines" folder:

A. Use Windows Explorer to open the "*.cnh" folder on the data card.

B. Delete the folder named "Combines." (Right click once on the "Combines" folder and select "Delete" from the drop-down menu.)

C. Exit Windows Explorer.

D. Open the desktop software and follow the normal steps to archive a data card.

Why does the data migration fail after I've updated my AFS desktop software? I get an error that says "The application data is too old to be migrated."
 

AFS desktop software must be upgraded sequentially through the different versions of software in order for the archived data to be transferred automatically.

For example, if you currently have version 5.52 installed in your desktop, you must install version 6.0 before installing version 6.5.

After you install each software upgrade, open the AFS software to begin the migration process. After the migration process is complete, close the software and install the next upgrade (if applicable).
