Change Database Search Order

Tools → Database Management → Change Search Order            Shared Dialog Box
Changes the search order of a Database.
 
Note:  
The search order is off by default. See the note in Setting Up the Search List and Order.
If you specify a file name without a full path, your template-based product searches through the defined databases until it finds a matching file name. The search order of these databases is set in your private configuration file, but you can change it at any time during the session.
Therefore, if two databases contain a file with the same name but different data, changing the database order may cause your template-based product to find a different file in each case. This is advantageous in many cases, but may produce unintended results when you change the search order without realizing that your template-based product may be accessing different files.
 
For the option:
Do the following:
Database Name
Select the database name whose current position you want to change. The menu updates when you add or remove databases.
Level
Specify the new level the database will occupy in the search list.
If the Information window currently displays the following information:
Level 1: **private .....
Level 2: *shared .....
Level 3: *gabriel .....
and you set the private database to level 2, the new search order will be as follows:
Level 1: *shared .....
Level 2: **private .....
Level 3: *gabriel .....
Update Private Config File
Select to also comment out the selected Database Entry in the Private Config File (.cfg)
Database Info
