Please note: you cannot copy the Forms571 folder from one computer to another without running the setup program (see below). As is common with most programs, some of the files Forms571 requires to run properly are files that must be stored in the Windows system directory.
Follow these steps to move or copy the Forms571 program and data files from one computer (the source) to another (the destination).
Step 1
Determine which version of Forms571 is installed on the source computer. To check this launch Forms571 on the source computer. Choose About from the Help menu pad and note the program version that is displayed.
If you cannot launch the program on the source computer then proceed to step 2 anyway.
Step 2
Locate a copy of the most recent setup program for 2023 on our website at www.countysoftware.com or on the 2023 Forms571 cdrom if you have one. This version will work with data files from any 6.xxx to any.3.x version.
For example; if the source computer version number is 6.003 you could use setup version number 6.008 or 14.3.1 but you could not use an earlier version like 4.01, 5.001 or 6.001.
Step 3
Locate the Forms571 program directory on the source computer. This is usually titled Forms571 (or Win571L on older versions). Copy all folders and files from this directory on the source computer to the same directory on the destination computer.
Step 4
Now run the setup program located in step 2 above. You are re-installing the Forms571 program into the directory that you copied the source files to in step 3 above.
Step 5
Enter Forms571 and validate your data files by selecting Validate Data Files from the Tools pad on the main menu.
