The data widgets on the property sheet each correspond to a single database property. The first set of buttons on the property sheet access dialog boxes that let you define more complex or additional properties. The bottom of all property sheets contains a row of standard action buttons that let you control the property sheet:
- Choose OK to save the changes you have made and close the property sheet.
- Choose Save to save the changes and keep the property sheet open.
- Choose Cancel to close the property sheet and discard all changes made.
- Choose the left arrow button (<) to clear the property sheet and show the properties of the object that immediately precedes the current object in the selection list. If you have made changes, the Data Dictionary asks you to save or discard those changes before moving to the next object.
- Choose the right arrow button (>) to clear the property sheet and show the properties of the object that immediately follows the current object in the selection list.
- Choose Help to bring up help information on the current property sheet.
