1) Restore Database: Entries in MoneyCare + program are stored in a file type called mdb file or MS Access Database file. When you open MoneyCare + program, previously entered data like Income/Expense details are accessed from this file. By using Open Database, you can open any specified database and it will load automatically all the default settings/data in it. You need not select database each time you start MoneyCare + program. After the first installation, Database file in installed folder will open automatically.
