Description 

Add Connection  

Displays the New Connection dialog, allowing you to specify the name for the connection configuration and indicate what driver it uses. The new name connection configuration is added to the dbxconnections.ini file.  

Delete Connection  

Deletes the connection currently selected in the Connections list box. Deleting a named connection removes it from the dbxconnections.ini file so that it is no longer available for use by any application.  

Rename Connection  

Displays the Rename connection dialog, where you can specify a new name for the connection currently selected in the Connections list box. Renaming a connection configuration renames it in the dbxconnections.ini file so that the old name is no longer available for use by any application.  

Test Connection  

Attempts to establish a connection to the database server using the currently specified connection settings. Use this button to check that the currently defined connection configuration can be used.  

View Driver Settings  

Displays the Driver Settings dialog, where you can obtain information about the currently installed drivers.  

Driver Name  

Lists all of the drivers for which there is a connection defined. When you select a driver, the Connections list box displays only the names of connection configurations for the selected driver.  

Connection Settings  

Lists the connection parameters for the currently selected connection name. The Key column lists the names of all connection parameters that are applicable to the driver associated with the current connection. You can select entries in the Value column to change the value of any connection parameter.
Do not change the driver name for a connection. If you change the driver name, the listed connection parameters will not be appropriate for the new driver you specify.  

Connection Name  

Lists all of the named connection configurations for the currently selected driver. You can select a connection name and edit the connection settings to make changes to the configuration stored in the dbxconnections.ini file, or simply select a connection and click OK to assign that connection configuration as the value of the ConnectionName.
