[esp-r] Re: Location of database files

[Anton Driesse]

Hi,

Thank you for your helpful comments.  It seems that each .cfg file contains the full path to the system databases, so presumably the 'default' would only be used when creating a new model from scratch.

What's the strategy to be used when you have multiple versions installed, as most developers will have at some point?
