Accessing the database :
When you execute TabEditor for the first time, the following dialog box appears "Database Error" because no configuration has been done to access to the database. When closing this dialog box by clicking on OK, the "setup" window will be visible and will allow you to configure the access to the databases so as to be able to use TabEditor.
Information : This window will only appear once while executing the program for the first time.
The following window called "Database Setup" allows you to set the ODBC accesses to your databases. First, you need to create the ODBC database sources to make them appear in the DSN field.
The display will be different depending on the connection type used :
1- When using an ODBC connection to the database or a "Cluster" connection, select in the DSN menu the primary database. Then we put the user name and password.
2- When using a "Double ODBC" connection to the database or a "Replication", select in the DSN menu the primary database and the second database. For both of them then put the user name and password.
DSN: Name of the ODBC source to access to the database
User : User name to connect yourself to the database
Password : User password
Once you're through with your settings, click on OK to confirm the operation. The Password window will appear. Choose a user and indicate its password: TabEditor's main window will show up. The connection to the database has been established and the tabs are visible in the upper part of TabEditor.
