Stupid question I guess but does HEM import (move) hand histories into a separate folder? do I need to save hand histories like forever in, for example, the FT folder hand histories?

When you bulk import hands using the Import From Folder/File method it does not move the originals. The Auto Import moves the files to an archive for performance reasons. This archive is more important than your DB. If your DB is ever damaged they need to be reimported to rebuild the DB.

Your \HMArchive is likely not in your \Holdem Manager directory. We normally suggest you use C:\HMArchive, but you may have put it anywhere.

To verify the location: Options > Configure Auto Import Folders > Edit > Archive Folder: ___________________

The archive should be organized by \Month\DayOfMonth (example: D:\HMArchive\2009\07\31).
