A project is simply a folder (or directory) where you store files containing related information. Efe MICROMINE STP TE, Reiter AAR. A ALSASDIE MR ORE ELAR LSC OPEC HPE GRAL .

However, if you're not using @ central database it's very easy to create copies of master ties and get into a stuation where @ colleague enters new data into the copy. To avoid this, companies need to have conventions that clearly define file- naming procedures For example, to make working copies of files Jeasly recognisable, use a prefix ike “#* or “!". The length of the file name is no longer an issue. Smilarly, with master files you can include “master” in the name of the file. MICROMINE (2k APU DRE — Ai i my LAE Ef NO LB — AE A AMARC INA.
