I had the engine, session and database open in the IDE. I tried to open the same database in EDBMan and received

ElevateDB Error #300 Cannot lock database Mind Your Money for shared access

You're not using the same configuration file, therefore the two processes
can't see each other's locks.

Hey Roy,

Have you tried using the same configuration file to access the same databases from local or remote using the same configuration file and with the databases on the same pc?

Roy,

<< Ouch >>

Which part ?  That you made a mistake or that EDB called you on it.

More along the lines of "why is this &%$£*&^ piece of software stopping me looking at my own data, growl snarl etc"

You may want to consider showing the path to the configuration file and providing a separate button at the Refresh, Views, Up level.

I appreciate that changing the path would mean you have to close down other databases that are open, but frequently I want to look at the data in an app and in the database manager simultaneously. And yes I know its in "edit options" but when you're down at table level its a bit difficult to remember

It's in the properties pane for the ElevateDB Manager treeview item.  One
click will get you the answer.  And the ElevateDB Server has it right in the
main interface.

I think part of the problem is that the path doesn't stand out. Yes its there, but when you open EDBMan its not exactly obvious. In its "native" state installed out of the box the path is wrapped onto three lines, the text is the same weight and font as everything else.

Are you purposely trying to come up with reasons not to like things about
the EDB Manager ? (just kidding, of course

I'll see what I can do.

How did you guess my dastardly plan to have EDBMan altered until it resembles DBSys more closely

Or more seriously I'm just trying to make things easier for myself - also cross reference this with the post about developing the UI Vs "real programming"
