Use the Toolbar or the File menu to edit the database being used by Progress Tracker Administrator. This dialog box will also be displayed automatically upon startup if no valid default database is currently defined.

 

A Progress Tracker database contains all the Student, Module, Chapter, Section, Class, and Company information for a particular product or vendor. Many users will only have a single database. However, if you have multiple products or vendors, you might have a number of databases. Since only one database can be accessed at a time, you must select a default database by checking its box to the far left of the row. To add a database, click the Add DB button. Progress Tracker Administrator will then prompt you for the description, location, and DatabaseID. Once a database is defined, you may edit its description, provider, location, or DatabaseID by clicking the Edit DB button. To delete a database, click the Delete DB button. To change or add a user name or password, click the Edit DB button and then select password. Note that the Cancel button will be disabled if no default database is already defined.
