FAQ:  AWA V 4.1.3 software only, earlier and later versions do not have this issue.

Question:

I am trying to use the “Database – Archive” function to transfer files from the AWA 4.1.3 software version machine to the desktop computer. When the winzip dialog box runs, I get the following error “Error: No files were found for this action that match your criteria – nothing to do. (A:\(File name).zip”

When I look at Winzip’s error file I see a message similar to this:

Action: Add (and replace) files Include subfolders: no Save full path: no

Include system and hidden files: yes

Warning: name not matched: C:/AWAData40/AWA

Warning: name not matched: Master_Rev4.mdb

Error: No files were found for this action that match your criteria - nothing to do. (A:\AWA Master_Rev4_20021024111758.zip)

Answer:

Version 4.1.3 has an issue with the data transfer function, where data base names that include spaces in the names do not properly communicate with Winzip when running the database archive function. Example’s of a database names that contain spaces:

Turbine Building.mdb

Aux Building.mdb

Work around: Rename the database files, by removing the spaces. The above examples would become:

TurbineBuilding.mdb

AuxBuilding.mdb

The default data storage location in the AWA v 4.1.3 software is C:\Awadata40, if you browse to the folder in Windows Explorer, you can rename them using the standard windows convention of highlighting by single left click and then re-name by single right mouse click. All that is required it to remove the spaces from the file names. If the default database file location was defined somewhere else by using “View – Options – File Locations – AWA40 Data Folder – Location:” Look in the indicated location and edit the files found there.
