dont use DB Commander use Excel.

DB commander automatically saves and shit, glitchy.

excel can corrupt the dbfs though, I use open office which is just like excel but just make sure you backup

[Hornets20]

yes i have used dbf to create teams but its just the art i am having a hard time with

If you are a beginner like myself, then you will have to take some getting used to.

You need to install DB Commander (DBF) to edit Live 07's Datebase Files and create these wierd codes to help make your team.

For jerseys, you need to find a template (Sag and c0nr4d have good ones) and then edit in photoshop.

For courts, use EBO Editor and JaoSming's tutorial.

sorry Excel is 10 times less likely to corrupt then DB Commander, for the simple fact DB Comanders exit=auto save. why do u think its DB Commander 2000? ITS OLD!

I like to think I'm pretty well off with dbf editing, and I will never, ever, ever open a non-backed up dbf file in Excel, nor will I ever use Excel in editing, ever again. DB Commander has proven to be much more reliable and has never arbitrarily corrupted a file on me the way Microsoft Excel has.

So, yeah...

how do u save in db commander 2000 anyway

lol what? Old? Do you know -anything- about databases? Only way you can corrupt a database is because of your own ignorance. The beauty of databases is that they are quite waterproof. And as Excel is -doing alot of the work with databases for you- it is much more likely to corrupt certain structure of database matrixes because it might not know the original purpose and the bigger picture of a database that author does know.

I personally use DBFlite though and merely use excel for quick browsing.

And always make backups before tweaking anything. Always, no matter what you use.

I first gather all the info in an Excel file, then copy the cells to a .dbf through DBCommander. Excel most likely messes up .dbf's, it's a known fact around here.

if you already created a custom, how can you make a custom team be available in dynsty mode?
