    I have been asked to look at a new job for an client. The C-Bus is existing but the program is on a CD as a folder, when opened has the following file formats:
    name.dbf, name.mdx, name.ROU, name.tag, name.tgb & name.top
    I know this is a stupid question, but for the life of me I can't remember how to import the data. I normally back up as archive files, so I don't come across this too often

    I think that these are files from the (very) old C-Bus V2 software. The most recent versions of C-Bus ToolKit do not have the ability to import these, so you would need to go back a few versions to be able to convert these files.

    If you ask someone in Tech Support, they might be able to do it for you.

    Yep they look like the DBase files, if TS no help there are some Dbase viewers that will let him get the group no and name to make a new Toolkit file then read the network to get devices.
