Using the Set Datasource Location process

When you choose Set Datasource Location from the Database menu and
specify a new location for the active database or universe, the program
checks the database or universe for changes.

Set Datasource Location displays the Map Fields dialog box when it detects
any of the following changes in the database structure:

A field has been deleted.

A field has been renamed.

The database or universe is completely new.

Note:

The program checks for these changes only if the databases or universes
have different names or if the name has changed. If the databases or
universes have the same name, the Map Fields dialog box does not appear,
and you need to verify the database or universe when you have finished
setting the location. For more information, see
