Professional Address Books was written using Borland's Delphi. Before Professional Address Books can be used the Borland Database Engine must be correctly configured.
To configure Borland's Database Engine follow these simple steps:
1. Click the BDE Config icon in the Professional Address Books program group.
2. Select the Alias choice from the Pages Menu ~ or ~ click the Aliases tab at the bottom.
3. Click the NEW ALIAS button.
4. Enter PAB as the New Alias Name. DO NOT CHANGE THE ALIAS TYPE (STANDARD).
5. Click the PATH field, it's in the window on the right side of the screen.
6. Enter the full path (including the drive letter) where the Professional Address Books tables were installed. This would be the installation directory name you provided during setup and adding the TABLES sub-directory.
* For example, if the installation directory name you entered was C:\PAB205 you would type C:\PAB205\TABLES in the Parameters Path field. DO NOT CHANGE THE TYPE (STANDARD) OR THE DEFAULT DRIVER (PARADOX).
7. Save the changes by selecting SAVE from the File Menu.
8. Exit BDE Config by selecting EXIT from the File Menu.
