Database

Remember logins If checked, you don’t have to type in a login string for frequently used databases.

SQL Trace If checked, echoes all SQL statements to the Command window’s Results pane. Useful for debugging.

Size window to content If checked, the viewer appears with just the right dimensions to display the OLE application or an image.

Play animation continuously If checked, any animations are looped, repeating endlessly.

Save objects as OLE 2.0 If checked, OLE 1.0 objects in legacy code will not work. Check this option only if you do not have to support the older version of OLE.
