My Quick Pen Databases are a mess from so many people having their hands in it. Is there a way I could take my Estimation Databases and cut and paste them into Quick Pen?

I can't say for sure, but I really doubt that is possible. The AutoBid database is not cut & paste friendly. There are too many "behind the scenes" links, such as price codes, end types and take-off item names that need to be properly placed. If things are really that much of a mess, then I suggest that you restore the data from the AutoBid installation CD (overwriting the mess) and do your own customizations.

There is no way to convert the Estimation database to work with AutoBid Mechanical. As Peter suggested i would recommend restoring the default data off of your latest AutoBid Mechanical CD which should be version 4.0, or 4.1 and make your changes to that data.

Another possibility would be to contact our Consulting Division and they can help you with the implementation process.
