Converting an SQL server database project into a file-based project

If you want to convert a multi-user SQL server database project into a file-based project, proceed as follows.

1.  Make sure the desired project is open (Editing basic settings of the project).

2.  In the Edit project window, click the Multi-user mode tab.

3.  Click the Convert... button.

4.  Confirm with OK.

The project is saved as SQLite database, as a *.vpdb file. Now you can copy the project to a computer from which you do not have access to the SQL server.

Note: By default, Visum suggests the \Backups folder of your project. Besides the *.vpdb file, Visum also saves a *.vpdbx file to the selected folder. Before you reopen the project via the new *.vpdbx file, you have to copy this file into the folder which contains the base version.
