Create a new library

Note

Now you create a new library on a shared drive so that you can copy some items into the library.

NoteShared drive These instructions assume that H:\ is a shared drive, but you can use any shared drive on your computer.

InfoMaker uses special libraries to hold forms, reports, queries, and pipelines. These libraries have the file extension pbl. When you save (or copy or move) a form, report, query, or pipeline, it goes into a pbl file (pronounced pibble).

  1. Select File>New from the menu bar.

    The New dialog box displays.

  2. Select the Library tab and click OK.

    The Library wizard displays.

  3. Type h:\mylib.pbl and click Finish.

    InfoMaker creates the new library on the H drive. This library is now the current library; its name displays in InfoMaker’s title bar. The previous current library still displays in the Library painter.
