Opening a database file in the Open Existing Project dialog

  • Run Kexi. You should see the Choose Project startup dialog. Choose Open Existing Project tab. You will see the following dialog:
  • From Current location drop down box, pick a folder containing a file you are looking for.
  • You can either pick a file or enter its name in the Location: box.
  • Click OK.

Notes

  • By default the Filter: drop down list has Kexi Database File-Based Project selected. In case the file you are looking for has an other extension, you can change the selection of the Filter: drop down list to All Files to display all available files (regardless of an extension).
  • If you have selected a file of an external type, like a MS Access .mdb file, Kexi will provide you with the option to import the file.
  • If you have selected a connection data file (with .kexic extension) or a shortcut to a project on database server file (with .kexis extension), Kexi will display appropriate dialogs.
