This box lists the files in the current directory. Click on a file in the list to add it to the File or Path entry field.

This box lists the directories in the current directory.

• To select a directory, click on it in the list.

• To change to a subdirectory, double-click on it in the list.

Drives list (OS/2, Windows NT, Windows 95, and Windows 98 only)

This box lists the valid drives on the system. To change the selected drive, use one of these methods:

• Click on the down arrow to display a list of drives. The control displays the amount of free space on the current drive in MB or its status. Click on the drive you want to select.

• Type the letter of the drive you want to select.

Remember that this list contains all the drives on the system where the database you are working with resides. This means that it may list the drives on your local system or on a remote system. If the Control Center could not connect to the remote system, the drive list will be empty. However, if this happens you can enter the drive letter manually by typing it in.
