- Starting a new database...
-
-
- 1) Decide what fields you are going to need for your new database and what
- these fields will contain.
- (i.e Forename , Surname , Postcode etc. etc.)
-
- 2) Select Create New Database from the project menu
-
- 3) Now for each field , enter the name of the field into the requester ,
- the type of each field and its length if this is variable.
- (For more details of field types etc. see the relavent section in the
- instruction manual provided on this disk.)
-
- Make sure you decide on suitable lengths for variable fields and choosing
- the correct field type for each field will help cut mistakes when entering
- data as the data will be validated according to the field type selected.
-
- Don`t worry if you`ve already entered the field names/types/lengths and
- you realise you need another field. Just reselect {FIELD NAMES} and add
- another field.
-
-
- Remember that with PowerBase to add a new record all you have to do is to
- move the current record number (with V.C.R panel or slider bar) to a record
- number that is greater than the number of records.
- i.e 4 of 3. So current record (4) is greater than the actual number of
- records (3). Then simply edit the new record and the no. of records
- will be increased automatically.
-
-
- I hope you have fun using PowerBase and encounter few problems in achieving
- what you require from the program.
-
- If you have any problems understanding this program then please re-read the
- instructions. If you are still having problems then please write to me
- enclosing a Stamped Addressed Envelope or 25p to cover P+P.
