You may wish to import a configuration if you have previously had problems and
exported the configuration to send to your supplier or a colleague. They may send it back to
you after fixing any problems for you to re-import.
You can import configuration into the configuration file for a connected database,
-
Select .
-
Select the file name of the configuration you wish to import and click
OK.
Depending on what configuration file you currently have open, the results
will vary:
- If the configuration you are trying to import is compatible with an
open configuration file, you are warned that the existing
configuration will be overwritten by the import. At this stage you
may cancel the operation. If you choose to continue, the
configuration is imported and your existing configuration is
overwritten.
- If the configuration is not compatible with an open configuration
file, a message will be displayed to indicate this. You can still
override this and continue with the import but any differences in
the structure of the original database and the currently open one
will cause the import to fail.
- If yu do not have a connection file open, the configuration file
does not have a connection to a database and therefore cannot be
saved, nor data previewed. However, it can be modified, validated
and exported. The exported file can then be imported back into its
original configuration file which does have a connection to the
database, where it can once again be saved.
