The Manage Connections screen allows users to switch to different My Vision Express database servers. This allows the user to have one client computer that acts as a client to connect to a remote server and sometimes acts as a server connecting to the local database. For example, you can have a laptop computer that you use as a client at the office by connecting to the server computer to access data stored on another computer. You can also carry this laptop home or to another office to look up data from the office remotely (i.e., no network connection). If you need assistance, refer to the Support section.

Select Tools > Manage Connections from the menu bar.

To add a server, click Add to open the Select Server Location screen. Fill in the Specify Server Machine name where Server is installed field and click OK to add the server. If you do not want to add a server, click Cancel to return to the Manage Connections screen.

To delete a server, click to highlight the appropriate server and click Delete.

To build and/or reset the list of My Vision Express database servers available, click Refresh.
