These may be opened either from the main menu or test creator. Generally, these should not be messed with unless there is an intention to add additional items. The database files have the prefix DB, file extension DAT and reside in the application directory.
All three databases have a list box panel on the left which displays the list of available items. Once selected they can be edited or deleted by clicking on the appropriate button. Each database is separate, so clicking on SAVE will only save the currently selected database and not affect the others
The abbreviations database is used to generate questions about abbreviations. Click CLEAR to clear the fields and enter the abbreviation, definition and select an appropriate class. ADD will add the fields to the database and EDIT will amend the selected item in the list box.
There are more complex fields in the drug database but the software will prompt users if fields are missing.
Pictures may be included but if the database is to be moved to a different computer then the pictures must be stored in the application directory and be less than 220x220.
Additional instructions can be added. Enter these in the one line text box and click ADD to add them to the list box to the left. Click the item and DELETE button to delete the instructions.
All fields must be completed.
