 A further function under the Database tab makes it possible to store the database not
on the local computer but e.g. on a network drive. This is especially useful, when
working with several users in one database. However, only one user can work with the
database at one time. If required, you must select the option Use central database
repository and when you wish to work with this database, you must check out this
database to avoid that some else simultaneously carries out changes to the database
content. Once you have finished editing the database, you must check this database
back into the central database repository again. A prerequisite for this procedure is
that the database in question has only been added once to the central database
repository. The path of the central database repository can also be entered in this
window.
