I figured it out. It's been a while since I converted over all my homebrew v8 to v9 seasons.

1) first you need DMB v8 and the season installed on that.
2) save as a "Create League D/B"
3) create empty league in v9.
4) unzip the files from the v8 ZIP file to the empty d/b in v9.
5) open up v9 and add reference to the league - it will ask you if you want to convert v8 files to v9.
6) yes and your done.

PS - I found the Pat Gary version and converted it.

You're working way too hard. If you have the database installed on your computer in version 8 format you can simply use the Copy database command from version 9.

- Open DMB9.

- Select the Copy database command from the File menu.

- In the "Location of the existing database" box choose the installed version 8 copy of the database that you want to convert.

(e.g. "C:\DMB8\AllTimeTeams")

- The "Location for the new database" box will be filled in by DMB with "C:\dmb9", leave it like that.

- Enter a name for the database in the "Name of the new database" box - something like "AllTimeTeams" will do.

- When you click the OK button DMB will ask you if you want to convert the database to version 9. Choose "Yes".

When it's done you will have a newly converted copy of the database in your dmb9 folder.
