The Stat.ini file contains the information Stat needs to connect to Stat databases. It is located in the Stat version-specific documents folder: C:\ProgramData\Quest Software\Stat\.
IMPORTANT: If the user does not have access to the folder listed above, the stat.ini file is installed in the Stat version-specific documents folder in the following location: C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\ ProgramData\Quest Software\Stat\. |
The following is a sample Stat.ini file:
To open the Stat INI Editor, select Tools | Launch INI Editor, or select Ini Editor from the Windows Start menu. The Editor opens with the default Stat.ini file displayed.
To open a different Stat.ini file, select File | Open, or click the Open toolbar button in the Stat INI Editor toolbar. Then select the file you want. Each INI file opens in a separate record window.
The record window is comprised of two tabs: Database and Options.
The Database tab lists the database(s) that Stat can connect to. From here you can edit an existing INI file entry or create a new one. The figure below shows how the INI information appears in the INI Editor. The information is taken directly from the sample INI file on the previous page. The INI Editor helps edit a file by asking for the exact information it needs. For example, if the DSN field is not required for a particular database, that field is grayed out.
