My original idea was to let the fields flow together
and let the user input the delimiters around 'Server',
'Host', Fail Over Host', and 'Port'.  Thanks for
pointing out that that was a bad idea.  I've written
the code so that IT  places the delimiters when the
fields are concatenated.  When I was checking out your
problem I had a hard time remembering what delimiters
went where.

You didn't tell me which version of 'Data Manipulator'
you were using.  In the lastes on posted at
http://database-viewer.sourceforge.net/ under the file
menu you can set that directory my using the 'Set
Tools Directory'.  I will automatically save that
information for the user in the next release.

I will add that to the next release.  But I think it
should be semi-colon, carriage-return separated.  If
you think I should do both tell me.

I'll do that.

I don't have ready access to MS Access or SQL Server. 
If you know of someone who wants to join the project
on sourceforge.net and work on that let me know.

I would like it if you could join sourceforge.net. 
That way all bug reports could go through the bug
report mailing list I have.  Thanks.

And thanks for reporting the bug and suggestions.  It
is well appreciated.
