I need to know in which file (presumably an ini) the appointments are stored since I already entered in my 2020 appointments but I am migrating to a new machine. THNAKS

There are two files in the options folder (aptg or something similar..& a ToDo one).

But the easiest way is to back up/restore the options folder, or just copy/paste it using a thumb drive. 

I'm not at my computer, so I can't be sure of the files names.

Did you copy the whole options file?

Like you, I have used the aptg# files in past years, but this year those files are not there.  It looks like the appt info is in a file called appointments20.db  Do you know how to read that file?  MS Access doesn't work, nor wordpad.
