Frequently Asked Questions

  1. Building my own property layout seems to be a difficult task. Could you please help somehow?
  2. Is there a way to make it so that certain properties would come up automatically in the property pane? I want some properties be automatically available without having to use Add command all the time.
  3. I get "An error occurred while attempting to initialize the Borland Database Engine (error $210C)" message while starting Argentum Coolbase or opening a tree.

It is easy to generate property layouts yourself! It takes just a few seconds to change or add a new header to the indexing table, and no more than a couple of minutes to change the whole layout. Just try reading definitions section in documentation before working with properties. If you still think it is not so obvious to you - write us about that, we will be happy to help you (especially if you are a registered user).

You can use so-called favorite properties. Specify the names of your favorite properties in the options dialog. Once set they will be automatically available each time you edit an item. Note that favorite properties are unique for each tree, hence you should specify them for each tree separately.

I get "An error occurred while attempting to initialize the Borland Database Engine (error $210C)" message while starting Argentum Coolbase or opening a tree.

This is because you have BDE (Borland Database Engine) installed on your computer, and the BDE application is running while you are trying to run Argentum Coolbase at the same time. There are two workarounds: (1) do not launch Argentum Coolbase together with the BDE application, or (2) place "ac.exe" file from the Argentum Coolbase folder into the BDE folder (usually "C:\Program Files\Borland Database Engine") and run Argentum Coolbase directly from the BDE folder. This should help.
