Important Advice
TMC Studio has a database format which differs from the former versions. Therefore, you will not be able to open a TMC.Studio or TMC.Editor database in tmcStudio using the Open Database function! Instead proceed as follows:
- Using the former version, export your tables to the Exchange Format.
- In TMC Studio use the Import Location Table Exchange Format function to create a new database and import the data from the older version into it.
- tmcStudio is able to import Exchange files in ANSI or UTF-8 format. If your tables contain special characters, choose the UTF-8 option to make sure those characters are supported.
- Users with a Viewer access level will have to request a tmcStudio database from their location table owner, as at this level import functions are not available.
Choose this function to open in tmcStudio an existing tmcStudio database (*.fdb file) from your computer.
The window Open database... opens where you can navigate to the desired database:
The subsequent loading and checking of the database to connect may take a moment.
