For those following this thread here is how I figured out moving all the settings and data to a new computer in VERSION 12.
1) In maillist king which I will refer to as MLK throughout the rest of the article, there is NO FILE menu - instead to the left of the HOME tab select the icon with the down arrow.
2) Select Mailing List Properties
3) There is a button marked COPY, select that and it will copy the settings and databases to a new location such as a USB drive. I suggest creating a new folder first to copy the files to.
4) Install MLK on your new computer
5) Open MLK select the same icon to the left of the HOME tab and go to Mailing List Properties.
6) Identify where the MLK SETTINGS folder is on your new computer and open that folder in windows explorer as you may need this after step 9
7) In the newly installed MLK select the same icon to the left of the HOME tab and select OPEN MAILING LIST.
8) Browse to your folder where you saved the MLK settings and data from the older computer and select that folder.
9) MLK should import the databases but it may miss the settings. If it does, close MLK and move to the next step
10) Copy the folder where you saved the original MLK settings and data over to the new computer in the folder of MLK settings which you have opened in windows explorer per step 6 above. Overwrite all files when prompted to by windows as you copy all the files to your new MLK settings folder.
11) Reopen MLK and everything should now be the same as your original MLK installation and settings.

That covers version 12 of MLK and seems to work well. I have tested it on several computers with success each time. In Nigel's post above there is no FILE menu any longer just an icon to the left of the HOME tab. It would be helpful if tech support did up a video showing how to move MLK between computers.

Hi

If you are dissatisfied with your purchase, please email us. We offer a 30 day money-back guarantee.

Please confirm what version you were using previously so we can advise where to find the database. Assuming it is a recent one you should be able to search for mlk_main.dat
