Database Management Overview

6. DATABASE MANAGEMENT

OVERVIEW

The database consists of a single main DB file, and a related sub-directory with the same

name as the DB file. The DB file may be located on the local machine or on a remote

server, as long as the user has read and write access permissions to the file location. The

database images are stored externally to the main database file; each image is linked to its

corresponding record.

CREATING A NEW DATABASE

1. Select File -> New Database from the menu bar.

First time use: Select New Database in the Login window.

2. The Database Wizard screen will appear.
