Use this window to make database tables available to the [[database connection setup|database configuration utility]].

====== File-Based Databases ======

{{http://netweaver.rules-of-thumb.com/images/common_1.png?nolink }} File DBs.  This menu let's you connect to file-based databases.  The menu has items for the following database types:
  * <nwbtn>dBase|common_168</nwbtn> dBase tables (*.dbf).
  * <nwbtn>Access|common_167</nwbtn> MS Access databases (*.mdb).
  * <nwbtn>Excel|common_171</nwbtn> MS Excel spreadsheets (*.xls)
  * <nwbtn>UDL|common_169</nwbtn> MS Data Link File (*.udl)
  * <nwbtn>DSN|common_169</nwbtn> Data Source Name files (*.dsn)

====== Machine-Based Databases ======

{{http://netweaver.rules-of-thumb.com/images/common_170.png?nolink }}Machine DBs.  This is a menu of all the pre-defined database connections on your computer.  The list contains both "system data sources" and "user data sources".  This is the preferred method for connecting to remote shared databases.

====== List Control ======

  * <nwbtn>add button|common_155</nwbtn> Add.  Adds the selected database table(s) to the database table list to make it available for use.
  * <nwbtn>remove button|common_50</nwbtn> Remove.  Removes the selected database table(s) from the database table list.
