I want to convert my Brave bookmarks file into something I can store and
manage.

I found a utility on Code Project to read the file and save it to a
DataGrid then create a TreeView. I played about and write something to
write it to an Access DB. Only problem is it wouldn't write to the DB for
some reason.

I have in my toolkit a "Class Generator" that I wrote which takes in the
fields in the format C# expects them, converts them to a common format
then creates a class file, updater file and Access database and table, it
wouldn't work though.

I headed off to Code Project and downloaded the version I put up there in
2011. Changed the location of the database, chucked the fields at it and
it wrote all the files, an Access DB and the Access table.

I then ran my bookmarks app and it saved 1,213 records.

I must have known what I was doing in 2011, sadly not so much now.

Very relatable situation. Not that I've ever been as smart as that.
I recently gave up my 13 year old computer, running Windows 10 and
moved to a new computer running Windows 10.

Trying to configure the new setup to match the old one and it's a big
struggle. A lot of the little I had upstairs has gone AWOL.

I suspect we have forgotten how stupid we were :-)
