This is not a problem with “official” e-Sword modules found at e-Sword dot net and eStudy Source dot com, because Rick Meyers has already switched those over.
Well, more accurately, all add-on modules need to be updated to the new database format. “all the current modules are useless in the new version”. Specifically, to quote Vaughn Jacobs of the excellent e-Sword Users dot org: Thus Rick Meyers, the originator of e-Sword, has changed the database underneath e-Sword with the brand-new e-Sword version 9.0.1.Īs the title of this post suggests, a bump while turning onto a new road.
#E SWORD VERSION 8.0 SOFTWARE#
Now at the end of April, 2009, a major change has come to e-Sword as the database engine behind the software (Access/Jet) has finally lost Microsoft support. Since then, it has gone on to some nine million downloads and worldwide use, including an ever-increasing demand for multiple language interfaces and support for the apocrypha/deuterocanonicals, as Christians of all nationalities and traditions have come to use the software for personal bible study.
#E SWORD VERSION 8.0 CODE#
Note that using this is not recommended for texts you wish to search! Forge and SS do not fully support HTML code in verse text.E-sword 1.o was released almost exactly nine years ago. If it is not selected, es2f will retain most formatting code in the verse text.
#E SWORD VERSION 8.0 PASSWORD#
Any posts requesting instructions for removing password protection from Access databases will be removed. Please do not ask about password protected databases. (This is ignored for Bible texts.)Īfter the files are converted, open Forge and fill in the module details (Title, abbreviation, type, file location, etc) and compile. Leave "Remove Font Declarations" checked unless you are converting a module that has special font needs. Set the output folder to where you want the Forge input text files to be saved. You may specify any number of e-Sword data files to convert at one time. Run es2f from the shortcut (on your desktop if you let the setup program create it there, or from your start menu under Forge for SwordSearcher). By default, es2f installs into the same folder as Forge for SwordSearcher. es2f is neither endorsed nor developed by the publisher of e-Sword.Įs2f uses the Microsoft Jet 4.0 Database Engine to access the database files.ĭownload the es2f Setup file above and install. es2f was developed solely based on user-created data files provided by e-Sword users wishing to have them converted for use in SwordSearcher. e-Sword was not used or installed during the development of es2f. See for details on using Forge for SwordSearcher.Į-Sword files are nothing more than Microsoft Access database files. The files written by es2f can be compiled into SwordSearcher modules by Forge. The purpose of this tool is to enable e-Sword users to export their own content or other public domain works available in e-Sword to Forge input text files.
It works for Dictionaries, Topics, Commentaries, and Bibles. Over the last few years, many SwordSearcher users have emailed me and asked me to convert their e-Sword modules to SwordSearcher modules.Įs2f is a tool I've thrown together to export an e-Sword module file to the input format used by Forge, which can then be compiled into a SwordSearcher module.
