Hi Jen, The runtime version gives you the ability to edit and otherwise play with the sample data that you see in ebase 2.0. You can add contact records and create new codes. You can edit records once they've been added. Check out the manuals (User and Administrator) as well as the QuickSteps document in the Documentation folder in the ebase files you downloaded for instructions on adding and editing data.
As for deleting the sample data once you've played with it, here are the step-by-step instructions: When you are ready to delete all the sample Contacts and Log data. The quickest is to: - quit ebase2 if it is running - go to your ebase2 folder - run the file devLogin.200 (If you are using the runtime this should run - if you have a full version of you may need associate the file with filemaker or directly open the file in Filemaker - details of this differ between Macs and PCs) - at the DevLogin single password dialog enter 'Admin' - At the ebase password and login enter name = ADMIN password = ADMIN (unless you have changed the Admin password and login, If you have use your new Admin login) - at the Main Menu choose Contacts. - at the Contacts Individual Overview choose 'History' - at the Log History from the 'Records' pull down menu item choose 'Delete All Records'. (Your left hand navigation menu should disappear. if it does not again choose 'Delete All Records' from the records pull down menu). - Choose From the 'Windows' pull down menu choose 'Contacts.200' - at Contacts from the 'Records' pull down menu item choose 'Delete All Records'. (Your left hand navigation menu should disappear. if it does not again choose 'Delete All Records' from the records pull down menu). - AT THIS POINT YOU SHOULD HAVE NO LEFT HAND NAVIGATION MENU - That is OK for now. - from the 'SCRIPTS' pull down menu choose 'Add Contact' and start entering your first contact. Once one contact record is entered you should again see the left hand navigation menu. - From the Left hand Navigation Menu, now choose 'ADMIN' - Choose 'Maintenance Scripts' - Choose 'Delete Orphaned Location Records' - And you should now have a database with no sample data. We actually had a 'button' on the ADMIN menu of the pre-release version which did all this with the push of a button but decided it was 'Too dangerous' in presenting a danger of accidentally deleting data.
