This applies to FPS versions <= 6.99. For FPS versions >= 7.00 please see [[FPS:Database.dsn|Database.dsn]]

The Database.ini file is created by FPS MS Access databases when the Start button is pressed. This file stores the location of the database to be processed by FPS.

__TOC__

== Limitations ==

There are several limitations to the Database.ini system

* Only MDB and not ACCDB files are compatible
* The path can contain no '.'
* difficult to attach to non MS Access databases

== Format ==

=== Example: Correct ===
Assuming the database of interest is C:\FPS\Data\Puget\PugetA.mdb

|DBQ=C:\FPS\Data\Puget\PugetA.mdb

=== Example: '.' (FAIL) ===
Assuming the database of interest is C:\FPS.Folder\Data\Puget\PugetA.mdb

|DBQ=C:\FPS.Folder\Data\Puget\PugetA.mdb
FPS will process this to be C:\FPS.mdb

=== Example: ' ' (Success) ===
Assuming the database of interest is C:\FPS Folder\Data\Puget\PugetA.mdb

|DBQ=C:\FPS?Folder\Data\Puget\PugetA.mdb
Note the '?' that replaces all ' '. FPS will convert those back to the proper format internally.
