Changing the Boston database at startup
The steps below instruct how to change the Boston database at startup (predominantly for SQLite and MSJet databases):
1. Pin Boston to your Taskbar;
2. Holding down the [Alt] key, then left-clicking on Boston in the Taskbar, to start Boston.
- Boston should start with the "Boston Configuration" form open and focused;
3. For SQLite: Change the Database Type to "SQLite":
- Click on the folder icon and find/select the Boston SQLite database using the "Open File" dialog box.
NB A suitable place to store the Boston SQLite database is: C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\FactEngine\Boston\Database
- You can create the folder yourself. This is a user maintained folder.
4. Selecting the target Boston database automatically sets the Connection String in the "Boston Configuration" form;
5. Click the [Okay] button of the Boston Configuration form;
- Boston will start/load;
6. Navigate to [Boston]->[Configuration] on the main menu to re-open the Boston Configuration form;
- Do this to save the Database Type and Connection String of the Boston database, rather than just using the database for one session;
7. Click the [Okay] button of the Boston Configuration form to save the changes.
Your instance of Boston is now set to point at the selected Boston database.
