Creating a table

  1. Using the Manager, click the Tables object bar.

  2. Right-click in the area under the bar and select New.

  3. Type a name for the new table. Note that table names are case-sensitive.

  4. Click OK. The Table dialog is displayed.

    Keys index the table. Using connection fields 1 and 2, you can link key values to other validation tables. (Connection fields are not, as it may first seem, for other valid values associated with a field.) Translation fields are used to translate field values.

  5. Edit your table.

  6. Click Close to close the Table dialog. The table is saved in the database.
