I am a bit frustrated as I have searched everywhere in the documentation.

How does one create a new empty database in DBISAM ?  I've tried using the srvadmin utility but when I go to the directory where I told it to create the database,
there is nothing. Also, using dbsys and pointing to the same directory specified using srvadmin, the only database that is available to me is memory.

Can someone help ?

Thank you.

In DBISAM a "database" is simply a directory so if srvadmin created the directory it did its job.

What you need to do is use DBSys to create a few tables. Since its a stand alone tool, and more importantly DBISAM allows simultaneous c/s and f/s access it doesn't pick up on what's been created in srvadmin and the drop down list is just a list of directorys (databases) used recently. Use the select button to pick a directory.

CreateDir(DatabaseName);
