Connection Editor

Use this dialog box to select a connection configuration or to edit the named connections that are stored in the BdpConnection.xml file. This editor lets you add, delete, and test your connection.

Item	Description
Connections	Shows all the named connection configurations for the currently selected driver. When you select a connection from this list box, the Connection Settings table displays the connection parameters for that named connection.
Connection Settings	Lists the connection parameters for the currently selected connection name. The Name column lists the names of connection parameters that are applicable to the driver associated with the current connection. The Value column changes the value of any connection parameter.
Add	Lets you add a new named connection. Click the Add button to display the Add New Connection dialog box to specify the name for the connection configuration and indicate what drivers to use.
Remove	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.
