Working with Databases
On start-up, the database that was opened last will automatically reload.
Note: The first startup of LANTEK Reporter will load an ‘empty’ database (c:\…\ IDEAL
INDUSTRIES \ LANTEK Reporter \db) from the database directory.
Creating a New Database
1. Pull down the File menu and click the New command or click
on the
toolbar.
2. You can either type the new path and database name or choose Browse and
select an existing path and then type in the database name.
Note: The name of the new database displays only in the title bar of the main
window.
3. Click OK to enter your selection.
Note: We recommend creating a new database for each new customer. When all of the
reporting has been completed, make a final database backup and move the file off
the computer to another media device (i.e. CD ROM or backup disk). This practice
will ensure the optimum performance and test data integrity.
