Deleting a database in Synergration

Synergration AccessBooksRT is a tool we use to get a copy of QuickBooks tables in an MS-Access database.

It works great for our purpose and transformed some super sluggish forms into lightning fast forms. We still use QODBC for some of the work (updates) but 99% now goes through the database generated by Synergration instead.

Now AccessBooksRT has one small problem: It has an interface to create databases, but nothing to remove one. Especially one that it cannot access. We ran in a problem where one of our drives was not accessible (it is password protected) and the Synergration UI would generate many errors when running.

Since there is no UI capability to remove a database, you have to edit the registry and delete the database out of there. That's the easiest way and won't cause any problem. The key is as follow:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Synergration\AccessBooks RT\MRUDB
