it is as if you say: I want to open a word document as a folder, how can I do this? A database is not a folder. The database files are organised in a folder but you need to have the database in zolca format to import or restore it. If you do not have this zolca file, but only the folder with files that form the database (so to say), then it is maybe possible to restore the database but no files should be missing etc.. Let me know if you need support here and if I understood your question correctly.
