Results User’s Guide

Configuration Information

Each time you start Results, it looks for a file called databasename.qc. It should be located in the same directory as the database files. This query configuration (QC) file contains all the system information that describes query defaults, permissions, printer configurations, mailing label defaults, file relationships, etc.

The default information in this file is determined the first time you run Results against the database. This builds the Query module interface. The user can choose to have a default interface generated for them, or take more control and select the order of the displayed fields. In either case, Results generates a file called databasename.ql. This query log (QL) file contains information on the Query interfaces that were built and what fields, if any, were left off the form because they did not fit.

You can modify all of the default system configuration information, as well as the Query interfaces, using the Results Administration module. Any changes you make appear in the QC file.

When you deploy your application to your users, you must include your own customized configuration file with the rest of your database files. If the system cannot find your file, it generates a default configuration file and you loose all your customized system setup data. You do not have to include the file because it just contains information about the initial build.
