Deleting a Record
Records are deleted in two steps. First a record is marked for
deletion; then, in a separate operation, any records marked
are actually erased from the database. Click the “Delete
Record” button in the toolbar to mark a record for deletion.
Click the button again to deselect the delete marker. The se-
lected entries will not actually be deleted from the Address
Book until you the next time you pack the address book. Se-
lect “File / Pack”.
8.3 Creating and Using Multiple Address
Books
To create a number of address books for different purposes,
such as one for personal correspondents and another for
business contacts, proceed as follows:
1. Select “Database / New Database”.
2. In the “File name” field, enter the desired name for the
new address book, for instance, “PRIVATE.DBF”.
3. Click “Open”.
4. The new Address Book is opened and you can now cre-
ate new user entries.
When you click the Address Book button in any FRITZ! mod-
ule, the list that appears is that address book file which was
opened last. To change the current database, start the FRITZ!
Address Book and select “File / Open”.
Instead of the default FRITZ! Address Book, you may also use
your own database (in dBase IV format) or addresses from
“Outlook”.
To switch Address Books in the FRITZ!fax module, select “Op-
tions” in the send window and then the desired address book
in the “Options” window. In FRITZ!fon you can switch address
books using “Settings / Address Books”.
If you want to use your own database in the Address Book, it
must contain certain fields with defined field names and
lengths. For more information about the required database
structure, see the Online Help.
