Sample Tutorial

Goal: to replace the folder called "Attach1" with "Attach2"
as an example of changing the path to the attachment.

First, click on the ACT Attach icon to bring you to the main menu.

Next, select the database you want to fix.  In this case it is
C:\ACTADDON\ACTATTACH\DATA\ACT6DEMO.DBF

Select the Refresh button, so it will give you a list of the Attachments found in this database

Select the ones you would like to change.  You can Select All or None with one click.

Note that the first entry,  C:\ACTX\AddOn\ACTAttach\data\Attach2\ACT.jpg
is already in the Attach2 folder, so it is not selected with an X

The paths you are changing do not have to be the same, as you can see from the last one.
C:\Program Files\Symantec\act4\Document\PTFBid.wpa

You can change many different ones FROM a path,
but you can only specify one TO path at a time, which makes sense.

Then enter the full path that you would like to replace the entries with.  In this case:
c:\Act\AddOn\ACTAttach\Data\Attach2

If you click the View button you can see the entries more clearly.
