How is this possible? I thought on Windows 8 it was in the ProgramData/Microfour/ConnectionData folder on the local c: drive of the local workstation. I have the executable running on a server.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;The issue with it being in the same drive on the server with the executable is if 1 user changes to a different connection, it changes it for everyone else on the server. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;</description><pubDate>Sat, 01 Mar 2014 12:09:50 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>Ross L Rooker, Sr.(1)</dc:creator></item><item><title>RE: Default location of Connections.dat</title><link>http://forum.strataframe.net/FindPost32489.aspx</link><description>Never mind!!!!!

I am aware that this happens with a shared settings file by design. My issue is:&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;I changed the connection in data connections on my local PC. It appeared to change the connections.dat in the release folder where the application exe is located. So my question is why the location of connections.dat an appkeys.dat in this folder?
