Locating your Data Directory
- Open Mailware.
- Close any open windows in Mailware (e.g., Customers, Orders
etc.)
- Click File on the text menu and select Open Company.
The following dialog will open.
-
One of 3 database options will be selected in the
top portion of the dialog:
Local Database - This is the blank
database located below your Mailware installed directory. The
default location is c:\program files\Mailware XXXX\data -
where XXXX is the version number.
Sample Database - This is the sample
database located below your Mailware installed directory. The
default location is c:\program files\Mailware XXXX\sampdata.
Network Database - You can set up as many
individual databases as you wish. These can reside anywhere on
your local PC or network. You can see the location of each Network
Database in the lower portion of the dialog or you can click any
one and select the Edit button.
Note: Your Data Directory includes all your
data (customers, orders etc.), your reports (in their own Reports
directory) and shortcuts to
scripts (in the Tools directory). When you use the
Mailware Backup option (Tools>Backup from the text menu) your
data folder is copied to a special Zip file. The file does NOT
include your Reports and Tools folders.
Client/Server Note: Your Data
Directory is NOT the directory listed in this dialog. This is the
directory that contains the clientserver.ini file. To locate your
actual data directory you need to open the Server Admin Utility
(Start>DBISAM Additional Software and Utilities>Server Admin
Utility), login and click the Databases tab.
