# GoldMine 5.x, 6.x, 7.x

This connector allows you to connect to GoldMine (dBase or SQL) version 5.x, 6.x, and 7.x.

NOTE: Inaport does not currently support GoldMine on Firebird.

NOTE: When connecting to GoldMine 5.x and 6.x, Inaport uses the Borland BDE, which is also being used by GoldMine. Sometimes conflicts arise - you may need to close GoldMine when using Inaport.

NOTE: Because the GoldMine base files (GMBase) and contact set files may be in different databases, you must specify the settings for both.

### SQL Server Settings

You only need to specify the SQL Server settings if GMBase or the contact set is hosted in SQL Server.

Server Name - name of the SQL Server instance hosting the GoldMine databases.

Login Name and Password - SQL Server login with read/write permissions on the GoldMine databases.

System Tables and Contact Set - you must specify the database holding each set of tables, even if it is the same database.

### GoldMine Connection Settings

Name and Password - this is a valid GoldMine user name. The user must have ADMIN rights.
Version 5.x and 6.x - must have SQL login set (File - Configure - Users Settings - Properties - Access - SQL Login)
Version 7.x - the user must NOT have the SQL login set.

GoldMine System Folder - this is the path to the GoldMine system folder (where GoldMine is installed). Must end with "\".

GMBase Alias or Path - This is a BDE alias setting (SQL) or path to the GMBase files (dBase).

Contact Set Alias or Path - The BDE alias (SQL) or path to contact set files (dBase).

NOTE: the alias will look similar to:

V 5.x, 6.x: - MSSQL: GoldMine: dbo:

V7.x - GoldMine:
