Create a New Project

Microsoft English Query can guide you through the creation of a new project, including automatically extracting the schema, or structure, of your database. Or, you can add tables, fields, and joins one by one and create the associated entities and relationships. Options for creating a new project are described below. (For step-by-step instructions using wizards, choose commands on the Guide menu.)

1. On the English Query File menu, click New.
2. In the New Application dialog box, click one of two options, described below, and then click OK.
3. From the File menu, click Save Project.

    

   Use this option	To do this
   Structure loaded from database	Automatically extract the entire structure of a relational database (all tables, fields, keys, and joins) and add it to the project. Then create entities and relationships by using commands on the Insert menu. (If you add tables to the database later, you can also add them to the domain with the Import New Tables command on the File menu.)
   Empty application	Create a new, blank project. Then specify the database structure manually by creating database objects using commands on the Insert menu or by selecting tables with the Import New Tables command on the File menu.
