To save configuration information, choose Object|Apply or click the Apply button.

The Configuration page of the BDE Administrator can store BDE configuration information in either or both of two places:

•in the Windows Registry
The Registry includes all driver information, the size of the Swap Buffer (Database Data cache) and various other system information.

•in the default BDE configuration file (IDAPI.CFG)  
The configuration file always contains database aliases and the Paradox NET DIR entry (in the Paradox section). If saved in the Windows 3.1 compatible format (composite 16-/32-bit), it may duplicate some of the System and Driver entries.

Where and how BDE configuration information is stored depends on what you check in the Options dialog box.

The changes take effect the next time you re-start all open BDE applications.

To save current settings in a file other than IDAPI.CFG, choose Object|Save As Configuration.
