    About InfoMaker libraries

    InfoMaker uses special libraries to hold forms, reports, queries, and pipelines. These libraries have the file extension pbl. When you save (or copy or move) a form, report, query, or pipeline, it goes into a pbl file (pronounced pibble).

  2. Select File>New from the menu bar.

    The New dialog box displays.

  3. Select the Library tab and click OK.

    The Library wizard displays.

  4. Type a:\mylib.pbl and click Finish.

    InfoMaker creates the new library on the diskette. This library is now the current library; its name displays in InfoMaker's title bar. The previous current library still displays in the Library painter.
