Congrats *g* - I know it was a bad thing, that you need to, but  
happily you found it.

Some further comments ...

This is a glitch in some versions of VStudio - you select an extension  
and VStudio cut it only to the dot or forget it completely. Second  
"way" you forget to enter the ".vdb" in the dialog.

Simple solution, just rename (your databasename) to (your  
databasename).vdb and you're done. Of course close VStudio before and  
you need to select the newly named file afterwards.

This is simple, if you know what it means.

There are the Valentina application versions like Valentina 2.5.8 or  
3.5.6 ... AND then there is the version of the Databasefie.  Happily,  
from the view of the developer, they didn't change the whole file  
format when incrementing the "app" version. So everything is fine  
here, Valentina 3.x applications still use the file format of  
"Valentina V2 Database".

Are you sure you use the appropriately version of Valentina plugin?  
Valentina is delivered with a Valentina V1 (AFAIR) plugin ways to old  
and obviously Rev declined to change their distribution.

So when using the newest plugin in RunRev and the same version of  
VStudio of course you should be able to open the created files vice  
versa - BUT when not using a server of course not at the same time!

We know, there may be some room left to improve and be sure, we will  
fill it up - on the other hand, RunRev MUST finally change their  
distribution, docs, ... too. And I of course didn't know when or if  
this will ever happen. For this part sorry for your inconvenience.
