FileMaker assumes you just want one table, and it's ready for you to add fields to that table. Without your knowledge, it has already created a table for you with the same name as the database itself. When you first create a database, FileMaker shows you the Define Database window's Field tab (you first saw this on Section 3.2). Then you'll be able to name and save your new database. Note: If you see an option to "Create a new file using a template," choose "Create a new empty file" and click OK. Name your new database, pick the folder to save it in, and click Save. Go to FileMaker and choose File images/U2192.jpg border=0> New Database. Relational databases start out like any other. Don't be alarmed if you forget a table or miss a field: You can go back at any time and make changeseven six months from now when your tables are loaded with data. Then you define the fields in each table. First, you tell FileMaker what tables you want.
You create a relational database in three steps.
And believe it or not, this part will go much more smoothly with your plan in place. Now comes the fun partactually making the database.
