When the user chooses the Import Database Table command on the Tools menu of the Mobile Devices folder, an Open window is exposed in which the user can select the location of the database. This option can be used to move database tables from the desktop computer to the device. Alternately, by choosing Export Database Table, the user initiates the copy and convert process. During this process, database information from the device is collected, converted, and transferred to the selected location on the desktop computer.
