Preferences_Direct. and aliases

Directories and aliases

This menu item opens a window where you can change the setting for directories and database aliases.

You can change the preferences for the search directory, the SPR directory and the template directory in the top part of this window. You can either enter the directory directly in the editing window or open a window where you can select the directory in the graphics or create a new directory by clicking one of the buttons to the right of the editing field.

You can change the database aliases for the databases "Customized", "SAMSON" and "Pipe and medium data" in the lower part of this window.

You can use the two "BDE-Admin." and "ODBC-Admin." buttons to start programs for configuring the Borland-Database-Engine and the ODBC preferences.

N.B.: It is imperative that changes in the window only be made by an expert as incorrect settings could prevent the entire program from starting.
