File” in the “File” menu and the tool bar button become unavailable.
• If a single file that can be linked is found, the file is linked automatically.
• If two or more files that can be linked are found, the “Next Linkable Files” dialog
box appears. A list of linkable file names is displayed in the dialog box along with
the start and end times. When linking succeeding files, the files are displayed in
order from those with the oldest start time. Click the name of the file you wish to
link to perform the link.
