Saving the table structure

Topic group Related topics

Save the table design to keep the structure you’ve created. If you haven’t yet saved a new table design, doing so creates the table and any associated files (such as .DBT and .MDX files in the case of dBASE tables).

To save changes to a table design, do one of the following:

If it’s a new table, choose File|Save.

To save an existing table under a new name, Choose File|Save As.

If you are saving for the first time, or if you choose Save As, the Save Table dialog box appears.

If you are saving an older dBASE .DBF file, it will be saved in the new dBASE Level 7 file format with all the extended capabilities built in.

Type a valid file name. Choose a destination drive, directory, and database, if needed, and then choose OK. dBASE Plus creates or updates the table and any associated files.

Note

You may not use a file-name extension ending in a "T".
