Adding a dBase
Text Field
Before retrieving data from a dBase database, you must
provide the label design software with the location of your
database files. For purposes of this example, we will be using
the fittings.dbf sample database file that is installed with the
program.
To set the path to the .dbf database file:
1 On the Options menu, click Directories.
The Directories dialog box appears.
2 In the Path of Database Files box, click Browse, and
select the path to the label design program’s DBF folder
(e.g., c:\LVWIN70\DBF).
3 Click OK to return to the design window.
