Logging into a Local Database
206
t Type the path to the folder where the new local database will be.
n
The iNEWS Workstation will display the entire path to the local database, so if more than one
database is created in the same folder location, such as My Documents, the directory display will
look identical for both unless the user hovers the mouse pointer over each one.
t Click Browse and select the folder in the Browse for Folder dialog box.
4. Click OK.
The new database appears in the Local Database(s) list with a check mark in its check box.
Logging into a Local Database
You can simultaneously log into the iNEWS Server database and one or more local databases
stored on your workstation’s hard drive.
n
You must be on the network with your server to open both a local database and a server database
at the same time.
The procedure for simultaneously opening a server database and local database(s) requires a
server designation in the Server field and one or more local databases checked in the Local
Database(s) section. You must also enter a user password to connect to an iNEWS Server before
clicking Login.
Perform the following login procedure whenever you only want to open one or more local
databases.
To log into only a local database:
1. Double-click the iNEWS icon on the desktop.
The Server Connection (standard log in) dialog box opens.
