Kexi/Handbook/Kexi Basics/Opening an Existing KEXI Project/Selecting a Project from the Open Project Screen

Opening a Database File in the Open Project Dialog

• Run KEXI and click the Open Project command in the KEXI menu, or go to File → Open Project, or press the Ctrl+O keys.

• An Open Project screen will appear, allowing you to open an existing project.

• The screen features two tabbed panes that let you choose files stored locally or on a dedicated database server.

• Choose either of the two tabs.

• The Projects Stored in File tab allows you to navigate through your folder hierarchy to locate a file to open, typically a .kexi project stored on your computer or a networked machine. You can either select a file to open immediately or enter the filename in the Name box. Then, click Next or press the Enter key.

• The Projects Stored on Database Server tab allows you to select a preconfigured project. Highlight the desired project and click Next.

Notes

• By default, the Filter dropdown list in the Projects Stored in File tab has the All Supported Files (*.kexi, *.kexic, *.kexis, .mdb) filter entry selected. If the file you are looking for has a different extension, you can change the selection in the Filter dropdown list to All Files (*) to display all available files, regardless of their extension.

• If you select a file of an external type, such as an MS Access .mdb file, KEXI will offer the option to import the file.

• If you select a connection data file (with a .kexic extension) or a shortcut to a project on a database server (with a .kexis extension), KEXI will display the appropriate dialogs.
