Export to an existing database

 

To export selected items to an existing Resort Software database, select this option.

 

Create a new database to export data into

 

To create a new database to export data into, select this option. This will force the program to generate a completely new database and then export the selected data to the newly created blank database.

 

NOTE:  If you wish to send a large amount of recipes or ingredients to a colleague or friend, this option allows the recipient of the file to import the data directly into their database by merging this newly created database and their existing Resort Software database. It also allows the recipient to keep the new data separate if they wish to.
