Dayone.ini and ODBC

To share the information for Day One NOVA Forms, certain items must be configured to point to the shared or desired drive. These items are the Dayone.ini (found in the WINDOWS or WINNT folder, depending upon your operating system), and two 32-bit ODBC data sources.

1.   Click on START | RUN

2.   Type in DAYONE.INI

3.   Click on OK

4.   This will take you to DAYONE.INI in Notepad

5.   Scroll down and look for the section below

[NOVA Forms]

EXE=C:\NOVA\FORMS\D1FRMS32.EXE => this line is correct. (We recommend this to be local)

DefaultDataPath=C:\NOVA\DATA\ => change this line to point to your network drive. For example: I:\NOVA\DATA = where I is equal to your network drive.
