Opening databases
55
Open command: My Computer tab
Use this tab to open a database that’s in a file somewhere on your computer. The
My Computer tab looks just like any other Open File box in Windows, so you’ll be
familiar with it before you start.
•
You start by seeing the folder you used last time you opened a database.
•
At the top right-hand corner you’ll see a Recent Folders button. This lets you
jump directly to folders you have opened databases in recently.
•
If you have a lot of databases with long names, Windows will spread them out
and you’ll probably want to make the Open Database window bigger. To do this,
drag the resizing handle (at the bottom right-hand corner) outwards.
