Description

The Update Database window provides functions that you can use to view or add module updates.

To open the update database window

You can view all updates that are registered in your B.U.D.S. system using the Update Database window.  To do so, follow these steps:

1.	Select Update Database… from the Tools menu.

2.	Use the vertical scroll bar to view all updates.  For each update, the window shows its name, date, description and update file name.

3.	Click on the Close button when you are finished.

To add an update to the update database

To let B.U.D.S. know about the existence of an update, you must add it to your update database.  To do so, follow these steps:

1.	Select Update Database… from the Tools menu.

2.	Click on the Update Database window Add Update… button.

3.	Locate the update file that you want to add. The update file name extension is ‘.fc’.

4.	Double-click on the document file name.

Note

Upon startup, B.U.D.S. looks for unregistered update files in its default “UpdateFiles” folder located in your working directory (where B.U.D.S. was installed).  If new updates are found, then B.U.D.S. will inform you that they will be added to your database automatically.  If previously registered update files are missing, then B.U.D.S. will ask you to get these files and add them back to your database.
