Opening a New Scenario

To open a new scenario, click Scenario Mgr > New Scenario (toolbar menu: Tools > Scenario Manager > New Scenario). When opening a scenario (either new or existing), the following message box appears if the saved database file differs from the current temporary database file:

The options include:

Save one-line before continuing: EasyPower saves the current base case before opening the scenario. This reestablishes the base case before opening.

Reopen previously saved one-line before continuing: EasyPower reopens the last saved base case before opening the scenario. All current unsaved changes are lost if you select this option.

Continue: EasyPower enters scenario mode without saving or reopening. Any current changes (different than the last saved base case) remain.

• If you select this option for Open Scenario, the existing macro (scenario) is run on the currently open file. If you then store the scenario, the changes made in the base case before the Open Scenario event—but after the last File Save—are added to this scenario. (If you do not store the scenario, the scenario is not changed.)
• If you select his option for New Scenario, the changes made in the base case before the Open Scenario event—but after the last File Save—are included in this scenario when stored.
