I need to transfer my HH files from my other comp to my home comp, the comp Im on has a dial up but at home has a DSL, can I put th files on a disk or should I email them somehow? Please help me do this as I need to get the files out and into my PT at home. Thanks for the help in advance.

How much data are we talking about? How are the HH's stored right now? Are they in a PT database or just raw txt files.

However Party automatically stores them on the computer.

Maybe 1500 hands or so.

How about just zipping them up and e-mail them to yourself? The file shouldn't be that big.

What operating system are you running on both of these computers? If it's XP, you won't need anything extra. If it's <XP you need to go to www.winzip.com (http://www.winzip.com) and download and install Winzip. Let my know what operating system you are using, and I'll give further instructions.

You will need to get Winzip then. After you install it, you can right click on the folder that has the HH files and there should be a sub-menu called Winzip. Under that sub-menu, there will be an option for called "Add to ***.zip" where *** is the name of the folder you right clicked on. Select that option. This will create a zip file with the contents of that folder. The zip file should appear in the folder that the zipped folder resided in. Then you should be able to e-mail that file to yourself.

On your computer, you will need to install winzip as well. You can then save the e-mailed file to someplace on your hard-drive. Right click on it, go to the Winzip sub-menu, and choose the option "Extract to..." This will open a prompt asking where you want to files to go. Select a place you would like them to go. This will create a folder with the same name as the original with all the contained files in place. That should do it.
