Database directories

Spaix uses three different databases, performing the following functions:

□Product database - vsSpaix

□Program translation database - vsProgram

□Project information - vsProject

The user defines the connection type for the three databases in the upper field of the corresponding register. The following two options are available for this purpose:

□Microsoft Access

□Microsoft SQL-Server

If a Microsoft Access is used, the file name as well as the directory must be determined.

For the use of an SQL server, the connection string has to be specified. This string contains the connection parameters, which must be separated by a semicolon. Necessary parameters are:

□Provider=

□User ID=

□Data Source=

□Mode=

Document directories

Enter the corresponding path for the document directory.

License information

Using the full functionality of the program requires a license file. Enter the path to license file (SpaixDB.lic) in the corresponding field. If the file is correct, the licensee and the licensed application will be displayed informatively.

This information window contains the following six registers:

□Info register: The general information about the program and data version is displayed here. The link below opens the directory in which the INI-file of the program is located.

□Credits register: This register contains a list of third-party vendors whose software products were kindly provided to us during the development of our software.

□Program version register: This register gives a detailed information about the program version used.
