Unable to reconnect Database -

PostSun Apr 04, 2021 3:42 am

Hi, I am a beginner here. I try to move my database file from HDD to SDD then I have copied the folder where the database was to SSD. Disconnect my original Database, then try re-connect the database in SSD, but can't find the way.

I am using Davinci 17 and there is no [connect] choice in the new Database function [see the screen upload]. Would be much appreciated if experts here can help me on this. Thanks a lot.

Upper left corner, third icon to the right of the word Databases.

Yes - if you "hover" your mouse over the icons (move the mouse on top of the icon and leave it there without moving or clicking for a second or so) then you'll see a pop-up description of what the icon does. It's a really useful way to explore the user interface, especially when you're looking for the right icon to use.

Hi, thanks a lot for the reply. I just seen the reply as I was fully occupied previously. However, I don't know how to browse to reconnect the Database. I browse to the Projects directory as per attached [screen capture from file manager] but the project database file is not shown under [Browse] even it is there.

You have to point Resolve to the folder that holds Resolve Projects. Don't point to Resolve Projects itself nor any sub-folders of it.
