Delete a database

If you have a database that is no longer needed, you can delete it by deleting the database folder using the file manager. Make sure the database is not currently opened by Biblioscape. Biblioscape will automatically open the last opened database at the startup. If the last opened database is deleted or moved, the template database will be opened instead. You can then go to "File | Database | Open Database" to open another Biblioscape database.

Rename a database

Biblioscape database can be renamed. For example, if you added some records into the Biblioscape sample database and want to keep using it, you can change its name easily by the following steps.

1. Quit Biblioscape and BiblioWeb.
2. Change the database folder name. For example, change "C:\Program Files\Biblioscape x\Sample" into "C:\Program Files\Biblioscape x\MyNewDatabase".
3. Change the *.bsl file name. For example, change "C:\Program Files\Biblioscape x\Sample\Sample.bsl" into "C:\Program Files\Biblioscape x\MyNewDatabase\MyNewDatabase.bsl".
4. Open the *.bsl file with a plain text editor like NotePad. Then Change the database paths and backup path listed in the first and second line correspondingly.
5. Open the file "C:\Program Files\Biblioscape x\Global\dbReOpen.txt", and change the *.bsl file path and backup path in the first and second line correspondingly.
