Glossary
If the current chart has any text elements which are linked to Kith and Kin Pro databases, you can change the database(s) which they are linked to. This is useful if you have moved the database to a different folder or have made a copy of the original database and want the chart to be linked to the copy instead of the original.
The list shows all the databases linked to the current chart. The numbers in brackets indicate the number of text elements in this chart linked to each database.
To change a database path, click on the database in the list that you want to change and then type the new path into "Replace this database with" or click on the Browse button to select the new path. Click on the Replace button to execute the change. The Replace button will not be enabled unless the new path points to a valid Kith and Kin Pro database.
All the text elements in the current chart which were previously linked to the old database will now be linked to the new database. Using "Edit | Update text" or when the chart file is next opened with the Auto-update option will cause all these text elements to be updated from the new database.
