Retrieving Charts From a File
Contents
This chapter describes how to find and select charts from your Solar Fire chart files, so that you can view, work with, edit and print them.
Whenever you retrieve a chart from a file, you do so from the “Chart Database” dialog box. This dialog box is also a gateway to editing and manipulating chart files.
>> To display the Chart Database dialog box
•Select Open from the Chart menu, or press the F3 short-cut key.
Whenever this screen is displayed, the list box on the left of the screen contains a list of all the chart names that are stored in the currently selected chart database file. The name of the currently selected chart database file is displayed in the box to the right of the File button, and its descriptive title (if it has one) is displayed below this. The number of charts stored in this file is shown in the Charts box. If there are no charts in this file then the number of records will be zero, and no chart names will appear in the list box. The number of charts that have been selected for copying, deleting or opening is shown in the box titled Selected.
