Greetings,

I was looking to translate a new database.

Under the window
Select a Q&A Database file to translate
Database root directories

I was able to in the past select a location
lets say d:\data

It will only allow me to select c:\sesame
When go to list box It will not show any other hard drive locations on my pc???

I tried to re-boot? Still getting the same thing?

I was however able to do this when I first loaded the product?

Any comments as to why this is doing this?

Regards,

Dave Costanzo

Thanks for the tip on ref pp 428

Roots.ini file

I added  [DRIVES]

It still does not access D:\  drive

Should I enter D:\  or  [D:\]  ?

Dave,

The file is called rootdirs.ini . If you put [DRIVES] in it, you should be able to browse your entire hard drive, however the file must be in the right place.

Right-click on the shortcut you use to start Sesame.
Look at the setting for Start In.
That's where rootdirs.ini needs to be.

Note: This is not the same directory where the executable itself lives. If you get Inside Sesame, read Mark's article on the Current Working Directory.
