Only a single store for Database Connection Wizard data???

While learning StrataFrame I create lots of little applications to test various things. These applications access lots of different test databases and tables. Today I made a mistake when I first launched a new test application. I mistakenly chose the wrong database and table when the Database Connection Wizard ran. Les Pinter's article showed me how to delete the Connections.dat file and the AppKeys.dat file to force the Database Connection Wizard to run again. That did cause the wizard to run again, but I was surprised that now the wizard must be run for every test application that I have previously created and for which I have already completed the wizard. To my surprise I discovered there is only one pair of Connections.dat and AppKeys.dat files that are used by all the applications I have ever run. And I was surprised to find those files under the Documents and Settings\All Users\... folder on my Windows XP system rather than under my personal documents folder. Did I do something wrong? Shouldn't these files relate to only one application? Sam Tenney

Also you can create another application with an option to show you the connection wizard like this: '-- Show the connection dialog and allow a connection to be selected If MicroFour.StrataFrame.Data.ConnectionManager.ShowAvailableConnectionStrings() Then '-- Since a connection was selected, then all of the existing dialogs need to be closed ' since their connection is established to the original source. For Each loForm As Form In Me.MdiChildren loForm.Close() loForm.Dispose() Next '-- Force the connections to be reset MicroFour.StrataFrame.Data.ConnectionManager.SetConnections() End If Edhy Rijo
