CREATING A NEW DATABASE
1. Select New command on the File menu or click the Create a new database icon on
the toolbar.
2. You can either type the new path and database name or choose Browse and
select an existing path and then type in the database name.
Note: The name of the new database displays only in the title bar of the main window.
3. Click OK to enter your selection.
Note: We recommend creating a new database for each new customer. When all of
the reporting has been completed, make a final database backup and move the file off
the computer to another media device (i.e. CD ROM or backup disk). This practice will
ensure the optimum performance and test data integrity.
