Manual file search
This function is similar to the
'Automatic' import in that you can use it to import from files created by any of the export functions in Books by HansaWorld. The only differences are:
- It allows you to import files from anywhere on your hard disk or on your network, while files imported by the 'Automatic' function have to be located in the "Backup" folder inside the "Books.hdf" file and in the "Setup" folder inside the Books application (Mac OS X) or in the "Backup" and "Setup" directories inside the directory containing the Books by HansaWorld application (Windows).
- It allows you to import files with any filename. The 'Automatic' function is restricted to files whose names do not contain any spaces or other non-alphabetic characters but have .txt extensions.
- Comments inserted in the back-up files are not visible when you use the 'Manual file search' function, so be certain that you are selecting the correct file to be imported. You can read these comments when you use the 'Automatic' import.
When you select this function from the 'Imports' list window in the System module, a standard 'Open File' system dialog will open, allowing you to locate the file that you want to import.
