Stickies database from Panther to Tiger?

[kbeartx]

Background: in Feb., the HD on my G4 PB died.  Still covered by extended AppleCare, took it to the AppleStore, it was delivered back to me in about a week sporting a new HD and a fresh install of Tiger.  I had stored a manual backup on my external USB HD, but didn't wanna restore from it, b/c I don't have Tiger discs.

In Panther, the stickies are stored in a file called StickiesDatabase [I don't recall its location - I planned to search for that file and replace it w/ the same-named file from my MDD.

Here's the prob: can't find it on Tiger!  I found the Stickies app, but not that file.  So I can't access all sorts of important data [SW reg #s, etc.] needed as I rebuild the PB.

Any ideas, tips, info that might lead me to a solution?

TIA,

It may not be anywhere until you actually create a Stickie on your new System. That's why you may not see it yet. I do have a file by that name in my user/Library. I have no idea if the formats are exactly the same as in Panther. I've never been able to even figure out how to use Stickies!

You can probably drag that database from the back up to your user Library and then Sign Out/In and see if Stickies can 'see' them.

KB, I have a stickies database in my user library too - and I've saved some stickies. So...try creating one and saving it and see if that does the trick.

I firsthad to save a new note in Stickies and there was the db!  Renamed the old one to match the new one, copied into the same location, and Bingo!  All my old, useful, and important data!

Thanks to all who contributed.
