Important Note: States that used DRVS 6.2 to draw their WIA data element validation sample can upgrade to DRVS 6.3 without losing the sample by following the steps listed below. Failure to follow these steps could cause states to lose their sample and sample results. States would then have to draw a new sample and re-start the validation process. This patch is only intended to upgrade the WIA sample database. It does not upgrade LX databases, and it does not upgrade all the calculations for the WIA Annual report.

All states follow steps 1 through 4 to retain the 6.2 database during the 6.3 upgrade process. Subsequent steps are specified for MSDE and SQL users, respectively:

1. Backup DRVS 6.2 database. To do so, open DRVS 6.2, go to File--Save As, assign a name for the backup database, and click Save. The default location for DRVS databases is C:\ProgramFiles\DRVS\User Data
