How to I upgrade to a new release of ERMes?

Even if I did write something to automatically upgrade your local implementation of ERMes I don't think you would want that as it might overwrite any local changes you have made. Instead, I think the best way to upgrade would be: 1) to compare the list of changes which have been made to ERMes since your last release and recreate those changes in your implementation or 2) copy and paste your data table by table and field by field into the new database.  For some fields you will have to select the appropriate data from the drop down, or 3) export your data from your implementation and import that data into the new release. To do this, you should keep track of your local changes so you can recreate those changes. Or better yet, let me know the changes you have made and I can try to incorporate those changes into ERMes.
