eNICQ 6 - Connection File Editor

Reported Issue: 

There are various reasons why you may need to edit the Connection.enicq file (eg. the location of the database was moved, your changed the type of authentication to the database, or you need to edit the proxy server settings).

Resolution or Workaround:

You can edit your connection file with the Connection File Editor tool.  You will need to be able to get to the directory C:\ProgramData\VON.  The Program Data folder is a hidden folder so you may need to select to show hidden items to locate it.

Also, please do this with the help of your Database Administrator or whomever else in your IT department manages your databases.

To download and run the eNICQ 6 Connection File Editor:

1. Download the zip file by clicking here and extract the files into one folder on the computer you are going to be updating the eNICQ 6 Connection File.

2. Open C:\ProgramData\VON and copy the Connection.enicq file to the desktop. Delete it from this location.

3. Open the folder where you saved the extracted files, and double-click on enicq6ConnectionEditor.exe (note: if you are not showing all extensions you will probably see enicq6connectioneditor and you will see another file called enicq6ConnectionEditor.exe. The former would be the correct file, the latter is actually a configuration file).
