How do I switch the active Data File?
A Data File is a database used to store your accounts and transactions. You can create new Data Files and switch between Data Files from the Configuration Tab. For most uses only one Data File (myDataFile.sql) is needed. You will store all accounts and transactions in this one Data File. A copy of your Data File is created when you back up using Connect. When you restore using Connect, this Data File is copied back to the device. Other than backup and restore there are other times when you might want to use multiple Data Files. In general, for separation of accounts, use separate Data Files.
