3.4.1.1 File - New
Purpose: Creates a new module database in imc CANSAS.
Shortcuts
Toolbar:
Keyboard: CTRL+N
Remarks: Use this command to create a new, empty module database. The dialog 'Save new database as'
appears. In this standard Windows dialog you specify the database's name and the directory it belongs
to. The file always takes the extension .mdb.
Once the command Save is activated, the database has been established. The previously open database
is closed and the new database becomes the active one.
Note
The new database is created by copying a database template. The database template is called
empty01.mbd and should be located in the directory \TEMPLATE.
If there is no database template in \TEMPLATE, you will be prompted to correct the default
directory in the dialog Set directory for data base template. In this dialog, the OK softkey is only
accessible once the template has been located in the directory selected.
