Opening an Existing File

To work on an existing TValue schedule, you need to find and open it. You can open as many schedules as the memory in your computer will allow. When you open a schedule while others are on the screen, the newly opened schedule window becomes the active window.

To open an existing file

  1. From the File tab's menu choose Open OR click the Open button on the Quick Access Toolbar OR press [Ctrl]+[O].

    This brings up the Open dialog for you to select a file. The items listed depend on the contents of the displayed directory's path on your computer and the TValue file type/version you have chosen (the default is All TValue Files). The File name drop-down list will show a history of any TValue files on your computer of the TValue file type/version you have chosen.

    Tip: If the file you want does not appear in the list, use the directory path and/or change the TValue file type/version to locate and select the file you want to open.

  2. Double-click on the file you wish to open or select the file and click Open.
     

To open a TValue file created with Version 5

  1. From the File tab's menu choose Open OR click the Open button on the Quick Access Toolbar OR press [Ctrl]+[O].
  2. If the file you want does not appear in the list, change the directory path to where your TValue version 5 files are saved (by default TValue Version 5 files were saved to C:\TValue5) and/or change the TValue file type/version to either All TValue Files or specifically to TValue 5 Files (*.TV5) to locate and select the file you want to open.
  3. Double-click on the file you wish to open or select the file and click Open.

Note: To change the default directory that TValue displays when you open a file, see Changing the default working directory.
