You can change the name of the existing tag properties database (Points.mdb) database for your application. In this example, assume that you wish to change the name of your existing tag properties database (Points.mdb) to "TagPropertiesDatabase.mdb".
Note: In most cases this is not something you would want to do. Please note that doing so can interfere with the ability of a VTS Internet Client to connect to your application
Note: It is highly recommended that you make a backup copy of your tag properties database file prior to modifying its name.
1. Stop the application (if it is currently running).
2. Navigate to the application directory using the file management utility of your choice (e.g. Windows Explorer), and locate the Points.mdb file.
3. Make a backup copy of the "Points.mdb" database file.
4. Rename the “Points.mdb” database file. (In this example, we are using "TagPropertiesDatabase.mdb").
5. Using a text editor, open the GDI.WIF file.
6. Change the last line from fileDSN=^VAccess.DSN;DBQ=^APoints.MDB to fileDSN=^VAccess.DSN;DBQ=^ATagPropertiesDatabase.MDB.
To test the ODBC data source, simply run the application and open the "Tag Browser". The tags in the database file whose name you changed from "Points.mdb" to "TagPropertiesDatabase.mdb" should be displayed in the "Tag Browser".
