Does not create the InfoMaker system tables if they do not exist. Instead, the painter uses the appropriate default values for extended attributes (such as headers, labels, and text color). If the InfoMaker system tables already exist, InfoMaker does not use them when you create a new report or form. |
Read Only |
Select the check box |
If the InfoMaker system tables already exist, InfoMaker uses them when you create a new report or form, but does not update them. You cannot modify (update) information in the system tables or any other database tables in the Report painter or Form painter when the Read Only check box is selected. |
Click OK.
InfoMaker applies the preference settings to the current connection and all future connections and saves them in the registry.
