BibleWorks

Over the years as I work with BibleWorks I have been correcting database errors as I have come across them.

Frederika,
Simply copying the BW folder from one PC to another will not work. The setup program must be used. I have used an external CD drive on the Surface Pro. Alternatively you could copy the CD files to a thumb drive.
