Hi Rhonda; Why would anyone want a data base for recipes? To me, it would be a lot easier to put a recipe in a file and have a folder for related recipes. A data base is for records where each record has related fields like name, birthday, phone.... It sounds like your making more trouble than it is worth. Terry Powers

You will be asked which folder. Go to your "drive list" so that you can create it where ever you want. You can even create them on a CF card. Once you get to the "file name" write it in, and press Enter. You will be told that it doesn't exist, and be asked if you want to create a new one. Press Y for yes. You are going to see "field name one"? You can write in the type of your recipe, and press Enter. You can call it something like "desserts". You will be told that it is a string document. Since that is what you will be using on all of these, you can just press Enter. I would make a lot of field names called ingredients, because even if you don't use all of them, it won't make any difference. After you name a field ingredients, just press Enter. You see the "string" option again, so just press Enter. After you've made as many of those fields you think you need, make your last fields be instructions. You'll need to make a few lines of those, because I believe you are only allowed 255 characters. After you have entered all that information, press E Chord, (Escape). You will see "sort order name?" I would use my title like "dessert as my sort order name. Then, you will be asked if you want to create a database by that name, which will be your dot CDB file. You will want to say "yes". You can go to main menu, and start using it. When you go back in to write a recipe, from Main Menu, press D. It will be like anything else in Keylist. You will see the Entry Name. You would press Enter. Make sure your first item represents "dessert," or what ever type it is. Hope I didn't mess those up. I do so much better with walk-throughs, <grin>. > ----- Original Message ----- >From: "Sharonda Greenlaw" <[EMAIL PROTECTED] >To: "Braillenote List" <[email protected] >Date sent: Mon, 9 Oct 2006 07:50:34 -0700 >Subject: Re: [Braillenote] Recipes >Rhonda, >That's what I was saying.
