The New Database command creates a new database file and selects it as the current database. The file will be created in the directory specified for database files in your client definition (see Client Properties for more information).

The Database name may contain letters, numbers, most other characters and spaces. ProVal will automatically assign a “.SF” extension to all database file names.

Existing databases are listed on the screen to assist you in picking a unique name for your new database.

You may enter descriptive Notes for the new database. These notes can be viewed and modified by means of the Properties subcommand of the Current Database command of the Database menu.
