To create a new database:
Select New Database from the File menu or click on the New button on the toolbar.
The "Create a new database" dialog is displayed. The Files of type box can be set to either Ability Database Files (*.adb) (the default) or Microsoft Access Database Files (*.mdb). The difference is only the file extension – otherwise these file types are identical.
In the File name box, type the name of the new database. Don’t worry about a file extension - this will automatically be added by Ability.
Before clicking the Create button, select the folder you want to save to in the Save in box.
After saving, the dialog is closed and the Database Manager window is displayed. You are now free to create the tables, queries, relations, reports and forms that are to go into it.
