Project Configuration Dialog (Advanced)

The project configuration dialog provides the ability to change a project’s description, and the read/write directories for mTAB specific files and export files for that project.

Note:

Making directory changes in this dialog could adversly affect how mTAB reads and writes your mTAB files. Do not make directory changes here unless you understand the effects of doing so.

Project Description

The description of the project being created or edited.

Write Directory for mTAB Files

The output directory for files created specifically for mTAB (ie. recodes, tab saves, etc.).

Read Directory for mTAB Files

The read directory for files created specifically for mTAB (ie. recodes, tab saves, etc). There can be up to three read directories specified for mTAB files. These should be delimited by semicolons. Changing the read directory can be useful in a network environment, where you would want a directory for your own local mTAB files, and a directory for corporate-wide mTAB files.

Write Directory for Export Files

The output directory for export files (ie. WK1 files, PRN files, etc).

Reset To Default

Choosing this button will reset any changes made to the Read/Write directories back to the start up defaults. The default startup directory information is located in ‘MTABWIN.INI’.

Set As Active Project

A project's paths do not become active until the Set Active Project check box is selected.
