It is not necessary for you to re-enter all your information from Hallmark Card Studio 2007 into Hallmark Card Studio 2008. You can simply copy the files that hold this information from Hallmark Card Studio 2007 into Hallmark Card Studio 2008. Here is how you can do that:

  1. Double-click on your Computer icon, or go to the Start menu and select Computer from there.
  2. Double-click on the C:\ drive
  3. Double-click on the Program Data folder.
  4. Double-click on the Hallmark folder.
  5. Double-click on theHallmarkCardStudio2007 folder.
  6. Double-click the Planner folder.
  7. Select both of the PLANR32 files.
  8. Right-click on one of the files.
  9. Select the Copy option from the pop-up menu.
  10. Close this window.
  11. Double-click on your Computer icon, or go to the Start menu and select Computer from there.
  12. Double-click on the C:\ drive
  13. Double-click on the Users folder.
  14. Double-click on the <USERNAME> folder.

    Note: You will replace the <USERNAME> with either your login name or possibly "Owner". Each computer varies on how it was configured. So, you may have something else that needs to be inserted for the <USERNAME>. If you are prompted to over-write the existing files in the second folder, select the OK or Yes button to copy them over.
  15. Double-click on the AppData folder.
  16. Double-click on the Roaming folder. If there is no Roaming folder, skip to the next step.
  17. Double-click on the Hallmark folder.
  18. Double-click on the Planner folder.
  19. Right-click in the blank area on the right-hand side of the window.

When you receive a prompt to overwrite the existing files, click on the Yes or OK button.


Once those files are copied to the correct location, the information in your Hallmark Card Studio 2007 Event Planner will now be in the Hallmark Card Studio 2008 Event Planner.
