Ehlocal.ini

The settings for each workstation are saved in the Ehlocal.ini file.

Default location in Windows XP and Windows Server 2003: C:\Windows

Default location in the newer operating systems: C:\Users\Public\ReadSoft\FORMS

The settings in the file are made during installation and normally do not require manual changes. However, advanced users can adjust them when appropriate.

The [Directory] section in Ehlocal.ini is particularly important to how the program runs. Some of the settings in that section are listed further below.

Other Ehlocal.ini settings are mentioned or described in these topics:

Most settings are described in FORMS INI File Help , a separate help file that describes initialization files that are used with FORMS.
