Creating a New Database

The application already has a default database containing the demonstration data for three sample companies (one for each entity type). You can store your new organization in the default database, but you might also want to start creating databases with unique names to assist your database management.

Before creating your first database, make sure you read Understanding Databases. A folder can contain two or more databases.

To create a new database
  1. Select File/Database List Manager from the menu bar. The system displays the Database List Manager window.
  2. Click the New Database button. The system displays the New Database window.
  3. Complete the New Database window, then click OK.

You should now see your new database name displayed in the Database Name field on the Database List Manager window.

  1. Click the Close button to exit the Database List Manager window.
