How To Delete An Import Library

The Customize Import/Export sub-menu enables you to access the Delete Import Library command. You can use this to remove import libraries from your list of registered libraries.

WARNING: Please use this command carefully! It actually deletes the import library from the Collect\import folder. There is no undo to this command!

PLEASE BACK UP YOUR DATABASES BEFORE PROCEEDING!

Open Collect With Odbca Parameter

1. As a safeguard, you must open Collect! in a special mode to proceed. Right-click your shortcut and go to properties.
2. In the Target Field, add "/ODBCA" to the end of the line, preceded by a space.
3. Click OK to save.

1. In Collect!, select File from the top menu bar and then select Import/Export to view the sub-menu.
2. Select Customize Import/Export and then select Delete Import Library. You will see the list of all registered libraries.


List of Registered Libraries

3. Select the library that you wish to delete. Say YES to the prompt to delete the library. BE CAREFUL, the delete is immediate and there is no UNDO.
4. Remove the /ODBCA from your shortcut.

Collect! removes the library's folder from the Collect\import folder, de-registers it, and removes it from the list of available libraries.

If the user has placed additional files in the import library's folder, they will be left alone and the folder will remain. Otherwise, Collect! deletes the library's folder from your computer.
