>>>> I'm using TMG Gold v.4 for Windows v.4. I have more than one data
set.Currently all the files for each data set are comingled in one folder.
I'd prefer them separated so that each data set has a folder containing all
the files for that data set. Does the program allow for this and how do I
do it?<<<<<<<<<<

Yes - and I keep all my data files in folders (directories) as shown below
Tmgw\data\kent
Tmgw\data\adstock
etc
In other words I have a folder called DATA in my Tmgw folder, and then have
one folder for each data set in this.


using the menu and with the kent data set open:
1. File/Copy
2. then type in the destination data box
.....TMGW\tmp\kent\kent.TMG
ie replace the "*.tmg" with "\tmp\kent\kent.TMG"
3. Click on OK

I would then open the next data set (say) Adstock
1. File/Copy
2. then click on the Create Directory button and select the "data" folder
3. type in the destination data box after...TMGW\data\
adstock\adstock.tmg
4. Click on OK

Sorry if that's obvious - just in case you're unsure what I meant <g>
