Create successful ePaper yourself

Turn your PDF publications into a flip-book with our unique Google optimized e-Paper software.

Normally, you choose just one field as the basis for the sort; however, you can also<br />

sort on two fields. For example, to sort the all the records by last name, and the<br />

records containing the same last names by first name, select NAME1 under Field 1<br />

and FIRSTNAME under Field 2.<br />

As soon as you confirm with OK, the data records are sorted and the database is<br />

saved in the new order.<br />

Note: When sorting a database, the data records are physically reordered in the<br />

database. This action cannot be undone.<br />

Closing a database<br />

When you want to close the currently opened database, invoke the command File ><br />

Close. The database is automatically saved and then closed.<br />

Alternatively, you can use the command File > Copy record and close, which<br />

does the same thing, except that it first copies the contents of the active data record<br />

into the clipboard.<br />

The command File > Insert record and close is only available when the database<br />

was invoked through a document template, a topic covered in section “Importing<br />

individual addresses” beginning on page 331.<br />

Using the database module (Windows Mobile)<br />

TextMaker for Windows, Linux and Windows CE is equipped with a “large<br />

database module” which has been covered on the previous pages (see section<br />

“Using the database module” beginning on page 319).<br />
