Change Display Names early on, WebFOCUS Visual Discovery binds charts, links, etc to the Display Name, not the original Field Name. Further, adjustments you make to the Display Name do not automatically propagate throughout the project and you must manually adjust charts, links, etc. Thus, while you can adjust Display Names later, it is best to do it earlier in the process. Changes to other attributes like type and precision generally will not affect existing settings in your project

  1. Start->Run->Regedit (for WinXP), or C:\WINNT\system32\regedt32.exe (for Win2000)
  2. Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Jet\4.0\Engines
  3. RMB on the Engines hive & choose Permissions. For Win2000, go to the Security menu and click Permissions
  4. Add the local account ASP.NET and set its permissions to Full Control
