Working with Application Files

Publication 2706-817

To reopen an application:

The bottom of the File menu lists up to four application files, the
ones that were opened most recently. To reopen one of them, simply
select it.

Note: The paths for files in the File menu are given if different from
the current directory. In the File menu illustrated at the left below,
one file (ACCT4.MBA) was opened from a floppy disk and saved to
the current directory.

Note: Devices or tags in a reopened application may not match
those in its assigned project. See Page 9–8 for details on how to
reconcile the project with its application.

To open an application file that is not listed on the File menu:

1. Click the File Open tool on the Standard Toolbar to display the

File Open dialog .

Or choose Open from the File menu.

The File Name list box shows all MessageBuilder application
(MBA) files in the current drive and directory.

To locate a file on another drive, select the drive name in the
Drives list box.

To locate a file in another directory, use the scroll bars if
needed to locate the correct directory in the Directories list
box, or find it through its parent directory. Select the directory
name.
