To work properly, CUSTOMTOOLS needs to have a database registered and set as active. The registered databases are shown in the Database View tree.
When you create a new database, it is automatically registered on its creation process. The databases created with the older CUSTOMTOOLS version, are also automatically detected and registered during the CUSTOMTOOLS upgrade installation.
| Side-by-side installation does not register the older version databases to use with the newer CUSTOMTOOLS version. |
| Database | Determines the database to be registered. |
| Set as active | Sets the registered database as active. The active database is the one used with CUSTOMTOOLS (Selected by default). One database could be active at the time. |
| NOTE: Databases that are not created with CUSTOMTOOLS, are filtered off from the list of Database box. |
