Hi.
I'm not able to create a new DB file with DATADESIGN.
I'm able to load an existing file, but I'm not able to create a new one.
What is the correct procedure in order to create a new DB file?

Thanks in advace.
Regards
M.

Thank you very much!

Now I'm able to create and use DB files ! :D

BTW, when I press HELP i receive the following error related to PROWESS ...

"ATTENTION: The following error has occurred: ProWesS reader".

Is it difficult to install the "reader" ?

(I'm using real QL GoldCard emulation with SMS/Q E 3.40, Lauchpad 2.14, Pointer Enviroment, ....).

Thanks in advance for your support.

As the latest Help for Datadesign is done in simple html you will need a full ProWesS install to use the Reader.
The PWS Boot file may need expanding. Then run the Config programs for ProWesS and ProForma.
Alternatively you could maybe use a PC browser to read it, copy the files to a DOS device first
It's probably also a lot faster to navigate the text.
