If you need to save your work to use at a later time or on a different computer, follow these steps described on the ESHA website:

"How to Export/Import a document:

The following steps are for use if you wish to save a Recipe (or any document, such as Ingredient or Person) for the purpose of using it in another installation of the program.  Common examples for this is to share a record with a colleague, or use this record on a different computer.
Exporting Documents:

  1. With the document (e.g. Recipe) open, click Database/Export.
  2. Under Save In, select your location (i.e. Desktop).
  3. Name the file.  This file name should have an extension of  *.exl.
  4. Click Save.

The *.exl file is now portable--it can be emailed or transfered to the 2nd computer which is intending to use the document.

To Open at Second Computer:

  1. Open your SQL application.
  2. Click Database/Import.
  3. Locate the .exl file and highlight it.
  4. Click Open.
  5. Select the appropriate options and click OK.

Once imported, the document exists as any other document manually created. For example, if you have transferred a Recipe, after import the recipe can be opened by clicking the Recipe/Formula button, or File / Open / Recipe." 

 

In addition to the "Help" section within the ESHA program, the ESHA website has a great list of FAQs about both The Food Processor and Genesis R&D.
