open local database question

[Beatrix Willius]

Hi Joseph,

yes, of course, this is possible. Store your reference to the database in your preferences and then exchange your line

> f = GetFolderItem( mVDatabaseName )

with the preferences stuff. In my code this is 

ArchiveFolderitem = Globals.thePrefs.getPrefFolderitem("Export_ValentinaArchivePath")

which is then passed to the class that is responsible for handling the Valentina stuff. Check out Macoslib for handling preferences if you are on a Mac. There is a high-level pref handler called TTsPrefs or something similar.
