Is the SQL Server Instance and Database name stored somewhere on the Client's Machine?
I am having a connection issue on one of my clients and I have made him go thru the new connection routine and it seems to work until he goes to access the data and then it does not find the database?
It seems to be that he has a . in his sql connection somehow and that really is causing some grief. 
I thought maybe if the connection info was stored somewhere I would delete it and then try it.
TIA.

Hi Terry,

Connection information is stored in the files in %ProgramData%\MicroFour\ConnectionData\ you can delete those files and your application will ask for the connection information again.

Sometimes, depending on the OS your application is installed, your application must be running "As Administrator" to be able to modify those files in the ProgramData folder since this folder may be restricted by the OS, so the end user may finish entering the connection info, but at the end it will not be saved due to insufficient OS rights.

Also, of course, you need to know the SQL Server, due to firewalls and other issues, the SF Connection Manager may not be able to find the server for you and your end user will have to manually enter either the Server IP or UNC Name, etc.
