You have now completed the markup process and configured the connections between QuarkXPress and the database. The final part of the process is to see PriceIt in action, updating the prices in the document.
The document can be updated as many times as you require to accomodate price changes, currency changes, version changes, zone changes etc.
Updating your publication is easy once the one-off process of marking up and configuring connections is complete. In fact it only requires on command from the PriceIt menu.
1. Select Update from Database from the PriceIt menu
The database update dialogue will appear.
2. Choose Select Database
3. Double-click or Open the PriceIt Demo Data.txt.LNK.DB data file
