Managing RockWorks Datasheet Files

This section discusses how to create new datasheet files, and how to open, save, and print these data files. 

Topics

• Accessing the datasheet
  Click on the "Utilities" program tab along the top of the program window. (More info.)
  
  
• Creating a new datasheet
  Use the Utilities 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 File | Open menu option to open an existing ".RwDat" datasheet file. (More info.)
  
  
• Opening a RockWorks2002 - RockWorks15 datasheet
  Use the 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 Utilities 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 Utilities 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 Utilities 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 Utilities File | Print menu option to send selected contents of the current datasheet to the printer. (More info.)
