Creating a New Project

To create a new project either select the New Project menu item of the Projects sub menu, or click the New Project button on the Project Toolbar. After one of these tasks is performed, the New Project form will be displayed.

The following information can be entered for the project:

Project Name: The name of the project (up to 255 characters).

Directory: The directory to store the project database tables (up to 255 characters). This directory can be on a local computer or a network server. If the directory entered does not exist, the program will create it. It is recommended that each project reside in a separate directory (usually the same as the project ID). Typically, this directory is named after the Project Id or Name. This provides an efficient method to organizing your projects on a network or local computer.
