OVERVIEW

The database consists of a single main DB file, and a related sub-directory with the same name as the DB file. The DB file may be located on the local machine or on a remote server, as long as the user has read and write access permissions to the file location. The database images are stored externally to the main database file; each image is linked to its corresponding record.
