Problem 1

Let’s have you practice finding and opening an IDEA project, which is how IDEA organizes its data files. The software will open with a number of files, double click on any of the file names on the left of your screen. You will notice the file name and data now appear in the center of the screen. Take a screen shot of the file(s) you opened to turn into your instructor.

Close the file by clicking the “X” in the upper right corner of the IDEA Database window (center of the screen). Be careful not to close the entire program.
