Creating an empty ACT! database

To create an empty ACT! database

1. From the File menu, click Save Copy As.

2. In the Save Copy As dialog box, in the Database Name field, type a name for the new database.

3. In the Database Location field, you can keep the default location or click Browse to select a new location for the database.

4. By default, the Share this database with other users option is selected. It is recommended that you keep the database shared, but you can click to clear the option.

5. In the Options box, select Create an empty copy of the database, and then click OK.

The next Save Copy As dialog box helps you select the Administrator user for the empty database.

6. In the Choose Contact field, you can select an existing contact from the list (this would be a user record), or in the User Name field, type a new Administrator user for the database.

7. (Optional) Type a password for the user name and type again to confirm.

8. Click OK.

ACT! creates an empty database containing only the Administrator user information.
