To transfer data between databases

 Previous pageReturn to chapter overviewNext page

CATVids lets you work with an unlimited number of databases. This means that you can split your collection into different databases and organize them to meet your needs. You can later merge existing databases.

You use the Transfer command to transfer information between databases. In addition to videos, you can also transfer lookup tables, field definitions, form layouts, and browse views between databases.

1.Choose Transfer from the File menu.
 
You see the 'Transfer' window.
2.Specify the database you want to transfer information from in the From text box.
 
This database is called the source database.
 
Note: By default, CATVids fills in the name of the open database in this field.
3.Specify the database you want to transfer information to in the To text box.
 
This database is called the target database.
4.Specify what information you want to transfer.
 
Note: Context-sensitive help is available if you click on the ? button at the top of the window and then click the item you want information about.
5.Click the Start button to start the transfer process.
