in that example I see you build a folderitem with function
f = GetFolderItem("new DB")
and use it to create/open as DB

but that function will point to a Folderitem named "new DB" located 
into the folder containing the running app while actually the DB is 
located into the Databases folder of ValentinaServer... this is a lot 
confusing

a string would be the appropriate parameter to pass in this case
or let us define where a new db should be created passing a folderitem

I see you allow a path parameter when registering a DB to the server so 
why must it live into the Databases folder?

BTW what's the Server behaviour when client attempts to create a DB 
with a name that's already in use into the databases folder?

can we put an alias into Databases folder and pretend it will be seen 
by the vServer?

yep! I select the Open menu item and put a breakpoint in the FileOpen 
menu handler... seems that the Database is succcessfully opened
but if I try to inspect it in the debugger's props browser
the app crashes

Cool Runnings,
