Open Database
Important Advice
tmcStudio has a database format which differs from former (TMC.Studio or TMC.Editor) versions. Therefore, you will not be able to open a TMC.Studio or TMC.Editor database in tmcStudio by using the Open Database function!
Instead proceed as follows:
- 1. Using the former version, export your tables to the Exchange Format.
- 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.
- 2. In tmcStudio use the Import Location Table Exchange Format function to create a new database and import the data from the older version into it.
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 an existing tmcStudio database (*.fdb file) from your computer in tmcStudio.
In the window Open database..., choose the location of the database you wish to access:
The subsequent loading and checking of the database to connect may take a moment.
