Templates / How to copy table.

This feature allows you to copy a table from the selected database to the currently opened database. The copy table feature does not copy the data. If you have to copy data use the Append from DB feature.

When to use the copy table feature?

It is very convenient to have a set of tables with the same structure. You can use it in the following situations:

• Managing a small number of records in a table is more straightforward than managing a large number of them. You can enter new data into a temporary table to simplify the process. Once all the data is ready, you can move the newly created records to the main table.
• It is easier to do so when processing daily, weekly, or monthly transactions in a temporary table. For example, you can process orders weekly or daily, enter expenses monthly or quarterly, and process purchase orders weekly. Once a new transaction period begins, move the recently entered transactions to the main table and start processing the new ones.
• New template installs as a new database. After the installation you select the template database, select the table, and evaluate the solution. If you like the solution you can keep it in the template database or you can move table(s) to another database, for example you can move to the Main database. The Main database is the database that opens when the program starts.
• Use this feature with tables that you create and test. After the table is created you can move it from the "Development" database to the "Live" database.
