? File menu? I don't see a file menu. Am I on candid camera?

I think almost every program has 'File' written at the top left of the window on the menu. In the case of ChessBase 9 there is also 'Edit', 'View', 'Tools' etc. However, I had a look at ChessBase light, and this is different, as the first item is 'Database'.
So, you simply click on 'Database', then 'Open', then you have to browse to where you downloaded the .CBV file (if you save to the CBLIGHT folder this will be easier!), and then you simply click on the *.cbv file and then click on 'OK' and the database will open. With the full version, or with Fritz the text file will open immediately, but with CB Light you may have to double-click on this. You can also permanently add these databases to your CB Light window by using 'Database' then 'Add to Window', and there are extensive Help files ('Help').
