Managing RockWorks Datasheet Files
This section discusses how to create new datasheet files, and how to open, save, and print these data files.
- Accessing the datasheet
Click on the "Datasheet" program tab along the top of the program window. (More info.)
- Creating a new datasheet
Use the Datasheet | File | New menu option to close any current datasheet and create a new, blank datasheet (.RwDat file). You can choose a generic data layout, a specific layout pre-saved as a "template", or a specific layout defined in an existing datasheet file. (More info.)
- Opening an existing RockWorks datasheet
Use the Datasheet | File | Open menu option to open an existing ".RwDat" datasheet file. (More info.)
- Opening a RockWorks2002 - RockWorks15 datasheet
Use the Datasheet | File | Open menu option to open an existing ".ATD" datasheet file that was created in earlier versions of RockWorks. (More info.)
- Saving a datasheet
Use the Datasheet | File | Save menu option to save changes to the current datasheet (.RwDat file) under the current file name or, if untitled, under the name you specify. (More info.)
- Saving a datasheet under a different name
Use the Datasheet | File | Save As menu option to save the current datasheet (.RwDat file) under a new name. (More info.)
- Saving a datasheet as a template for future datasheets
Use the Datasheet | File | Save As Template menu option to save the layout of the current datasheet - column titles, styles, and units - as a template for setting up future datasheets. (More info.)
- Printing a datasheet
Use the Datasheet | File | Print menu option to send selected contents of the current datasheet to the printer. (More info.)
