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.
