[Equest-users] transferring equest file to different computer

Agree with Carol and Charles - just the PD2 and INP are necessary for most transfers.

If you have parametric runs, you might also have a PRD file which would be important to transfer.
And I sometimes transfer the PDL file just so I have a history of where / when the file was last used.

You might check the install version on each computer. Back when we used 3.63, there were multiple "builds" and I believe we had problems when we tried to open a file from a later build in an earlier version.
Finally, you might check if any of the files in the final destination are now marked read-only - this has caused me trouble before.

I do it all the time. As long as you have eQUEST loaded up on each computer you should have no problem. You can either download your .inp and .pd2 files on a USB drive or zip them together and email them to yourself.

Can equest files be transferred to another computer?

I created an equest model on a laptop computer.  I transferred the file to my desktop computer but I keep getting an error message about an sharing violation.

Is it possible to transfer equest files between computers?
