Open a Database

Open a NEW Database

Click on File then Open/New and TFTM will display a standard Windows directory window.  TFTM will default to the directory name TFTM3Data - we suggest that you keep all of your TFTM Databases in this directory.

To open a new database, just enter a new database name in the data entry field labeled "File Name".  For example, enter "NATC-Summer-2008" or "MyTeam" as the file name and click on the Open button, and TFTM will create a new database with that file name and initialize the database for you.

TFTM will automatically route you to the System Preferences data entry screen.  Make any default selections you choose.

Now press the OK button to save the System Preferences information in your TFTM Database.

Open a Database That Was Previously Created

Click on File and at the bottom of the File pull-down menu window, TFTM will show a list of the last 5 TFTM databases that have been opened.  Just click on the one you wish to open, and TFTM will do the rest.  If you wish to open a database that is not on the most recent list, click on Open/New, and TFTM will display a standard Windows directory screen.  TFTM will default to the directory name TFTM3Data - we suggest that you keep all of your TFTM Databases in this directory.

TFTM will display a list of the TFTM Databases that have been previously created.  Pick the one you wish to open and then click on the Open button.  TFTM will open that Database and return to the TFTM Main Menu.
