open()
Here’s how to use open() functions.
f.open( p )
Description:
Use password to open a composite table file or a homo-name files group.
Syntax:
f.open(p)
Note:
The function opens an existing composite table file or a homo-name files group using the password. A write password is needed to update the file and a read password is only for the access. For a homo-name files group, each file must have same data structure and use same passwords. A missing member file in a files group means the corrreponding part of data is missing. Merge a patch file, if there is one, with the existing data when retrieving a member file.

f |

p |

An entity table
