Hello everyone!

my situation is this...i recently added a 2nd hard drive and installed vista.  My original install of the my collection is on the other drive.  But apparently the last time i entered movies, i didn't upload.  so the database on the invelos server, is missing quite a few titles.  I was wondering what the file name is of my database....figuring i can just copy and paste it into the new directory on the new hard drive.

thanks!

That's IF he has been running backups, which it doesn't sound like he has.

you could simply open the database at the old harddrive:
Where Eigenaar is the users name
Where Mijn documenten is My Documents

browse to the folder where COLLECTION.DAT is. The folder that is in Databases
From the DVD Profiler Menu: File
Open Database
Browse... Button (Browse to the location on the old harddrive where the dvd profiler database is)
Open It
From DVD Profiler Menu: File
Backup Database
Use Specific Location or Removable drive
Close the database
And Restore the database from Specific Location or Removable drive to the New location of the Database in Vista
Then you could upload to your online
