How to open a base?

To open an EDT database, use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl + O or activate one of the following commands:

• To open an existing base: File > Open a base;
  
• To open a recently opened base: File > Reopen a base;
  
• To open an archive: File > Recover an archive;
  
• To open the demonstration base: File > Open a demonstration base.

EDT databases have a *.edt extension, but other extensions are also available (..sauv ; .arch ; .bak; .zip); these correspond to different types of archives and safeguards.
