Restoring the Sample Database
Restoring the Sample Database
The GMO installation provides not only a Microsoft Access database file,
green2.mdb, but also a back-up copy of that file, called green2-base.mdb.
The text database file, green2.txt, also has a back-up copy, called
green2.base.txt. These copies allow you to experiment with the database and
still have a copy of the original information to restore.
1
Navigate to the GMO installation directory
Using the Windows Explorer navigate to the <GMO installation
directory
> (The default directory location is C:\Program
Files\Borland\SilkTest\Gmo).
2
Delete the file for the database that you want to restore
·
If you were using the text database (the default) delete green2.txt.
·
If you specified that GMO should use the Access database, delete
green2.mdb.
3
Create a copy of the back-up copy of the database
·
If you were using the text database, right-click green2-base.txt.
Select Copy. With the <GMO installation directory> still open in the
Explorer, right-click and select Paste. A copy of the file is placed in
the GMO directory.
·
If you were using the Access database, right-click green2-
base.mdb
. Select Copy. With the <GMO installation directory> still
open in the Explorer, right-click and select Paste. A copy of the file
is placed in the GMO directory.
4
Rename the copy of the back-up database
·
If you were using the text database (the default), right-click copy of
green2-base.txt, select Rename. Rename the file green2.txt.
·
If you were using the Access database, right-click copy of green2-
base.mdb
, select Rename. Rename the file green2.mdb.
