Specifying the Load Order when Loading Multiple Files

The Load Order sheet, shown in the following image, is displayed when you click the Load Order tab on the Load Option dialog.

To specify your load order of multiple files

To move a file selected in the table at the upper left of the sheet up the file load order, click the Move Up button. The selected file is then moved up one position so that it is now positioned above the file that it previously followed in the file load process.

Repeat this action until the file is positioned in the order in which you want it loaded; for example, to display the fifth file after the second file value, select the fifth file in the table and then click the Move Up arrow button three times.
To move a file selected in the table at the upper left of the sheet down the file load order, click the Move Down button. The selected file is then moved down one position so that it is now positioned below the file that previously followed it in the file load process.

Repeat this action until the file is positioned in the order in which you want it loaded; for example, to display the second file after the fifth file, select the second file and then click the Move Down button three times.
To add a file to the multiple file load process, click the Add button.

The common Open dialog is then displayed, to enable you to select the schema file or files (that is, one or more .scm, .ddb or .ddx, .cls, .mth, or .mul files) that you want to add to the multiple file load process. When you have selected the file or files from the appropriate directory or directories, click the Open button.

The selected file or files are then displayed at the end of the list of selected files. (See step 1 of this instruction for details about moving an added file up the load order.)
To remove a file from the multiple load process, select the file that you do not want to load in the table and then click the Remove button.
To make the selected files in the table into a multiple load file, click the Make .mul button.

The common Open dialog is then displayed, to enable you to specify the name of your multiple load file in the File name text box (for example, TestScms.mul) and to select the directory in which the schema files and the multiple load file is located.

The multiple schemas load file itself contains merely a list of the file names in the order displayed in the table on the Load Order sheet.

When you have specified the file and its location, click the Open button. A message box then advises you that the file does not exist, and prompts you to click the Yes button to create the file.
