       How to Save a Database
      
       When you make changes to a database, you must save them so that the 
       changes are not lost. However, the file 'Database1', and its 
       associated Piece List, Vehicle List, Weapon List, and Sound List are 
       protected, so, if you make changes, you must save them with a 
       different name. 
      
       Save the database:
       
        
         | 
           
           1. Select the 'Save' function from the 'Database' menu in the ATF 
           Power Toolkit. If you have opened the original Armored Task Force 
           database, you will be prompted to provide names for the various 
           pieces of your new database. We recommend using the same file name, 
           with different extensions, for your database components, so you can 
           easily discern what pieces go to your database.  It is also not a good 
           idea to give your database the same name as one of your custom 
           scenarios, as it will be hard to distinguish your database files 
           (which can be used in multiple scenarios) from the scenario files
           which apply only to your scenario.  |

           2. To use your database in a scenario, after creating
            a new scenario using ATF Scenario Builder, select 'Import 
           Database' from the 'File' menu. When, prompted, select your database 
           and you will be all set! Your database will be loaded into the scenario.  |
