Server and other database settings for INVOICES

Description

The database settings are set during ReadSoft Invoices installation. Do not change these settings unless the information you entered during installation has changed or is incorrect.

If Type = SQL Server, then the Server setting specifies the name of the SQL Server computer. Similar values (i.e. depending on your setup) for these settings are needed for SQL Server setup:

Version = 2005

Server = localhost*

DatabaseName = INVOICES

UserName = company1

Password = 00E000F5002F212200470054005700FA001700CD201A004300CD000600BF003D**

WarningLevel =

* To change the default port used by SQL Server, add a comma and the desired port number at the end of the string in this manner: Server = localhost, 1435
 Note that this is not necessary when using the default SQL Server port (1433).

** By default, the Password= line is encrypted when a ReadSoft Invoices module is opened for the first time. See Password encryption for details.
