Program and Data Files

StepWatch Library
YOUR STEPWATCH LIBRARY SHOULD ALWAYS BE IN THE SAME FOLDER OR DIRECTORY AS YOUR STEPWATCH APPLICATION.

The StepWatch Library should contain two folders or directories - Program Files and Client Files.

If you move your StepWatch application without moving your library to the same folder or directory, the program will create a new library. The preferences you had previously set up will not be recognized, any database information you had entered will not be available, and the program will not have access to the Help files. To correct this, you need to delete (throw away) the newly created library and place the old library into the same folder or directory as your StepWatch application.

Program Files
The Program Files folder or directory exists within your StepWatch Library. This contains files essential to your program set-up and database.

NEVER ALTER, DELETE OR MOVE YOUR PROGRAM FILES OUT OF YOUR STEPWATCH LIBRARY UNLESS INSTRUCTED TO DO SO BY CYMA TECHNICAL SUPPORT PERSONNEL.

Client Files
Your Client Files folder or directory exists within your StepWatch Library. We suggest that you store your StepWatch data files here. Do not change the name of the Client Files folder, but you may add files to it, delete files from it, or change file names within it. It is also reasonable to include an alias to the folder/directory where your data files are stored if you want to keep them in a different location.

We have included a directory called Sample Data in your Client Files. Within it is a demo data file called DemoData.swb for your interest.
