DATA BASE MANAGER:

The Windows menu acts on Home Accountings application windows and the current data base windows. The data base manager floating window allows you do select which data base is to be the current data base. This is also the only way to close a data base. Closing all the windows of a data base does not close the data base.

The current data base number is also indicated in the text box in the lower right corner.

To make a data base the current data base:

Select the data base in the left scroll list (actually a grid). Click the Select button. If the data base has an open window, then that window is brought forward. If the data base has more than one window open, then the window with the highest priority is brought forward. If the data base has no open window, then the data base's Register window is opened.

To select the current data base in the scroll list:

Click the Update button.

To close a data base:

Select the data base in the left scroll list. Click the Close button. When a data base is closed, each of it's open windows are closed in the order of highest priority to lowest priority. If a window offers you a chance to cancel closing it and you choose to cancel, then the data base close action will be aborted at that window.
