Create a new database

Practice CS lets you to have more than 1 database. The initial installation adds a database called Sample that contains sample/training data that you can use to acquaint yourself with the operation of the program. At some point, you'll create one or more databases that you'll use to store and process your own data. Do the following to create a new database:
  1. Open Practice CS using the Sample database.
  2. Go to
    File
    ,
    New
    , then
    Firm
    .
  3. In the window that opens,  go to
    New Name
     and enter the name you want to assign to your new database.
  4. Select
    OK
    .
  5. The application will create a new database. This may take a few minutes.
  6. To open the newly created database, go to
    File
     then
    Open Firm
    . In the login screen, select your new database at
    Open Firm
     and enter
    ADMIN
     for the
    Staff ID
