File->Open
Database menu item, the database

Add Not Found Items in Auto-Catalog - If checked and an item is not found during Readerware auto-catalog, Readerware will add a dummy row with the ISBN or UPC number of the item, to the database. By default Readerware just reports items not found, nothing is added to the database. If you want Readerware to add dummy items which you can later update manually, check this option. Initially this option will be turned off.
Remember Loaded Database - If checked Readerware will automatically open the last accessed database when starting the application. If not checked, the default Readerware database will be loaded. This option is only really necessary when you are using multiple databases. Initially this option will be turned on.
Include Image Support - If checked Readerware will automatically add a cover image for each book you catalog by extracting the book from a web site. You will be able to manually add images for other books. Images can take up a lot of space, so if you do not need this feature you can clear this option and no images will be created. Initially this option will be turned on.
Include Shopping Cart in Searches - If checked Readerware will include your shopping cart items in database searches. If not checked, shopping cart items are excluded from database searches. Initially this option will be turned on.
Allow Duplicate ISBNS/UPCs - If checked Readerware will allow duplicate primary keys in the database, the ISBN of a book, the UPC of a CD or video. If not checked, Readerware will reject duplicates. Initially this option will be turned off.
Refresh History - If checked Readerware will automatically
reload
result pages that have changed when they are accessed using the Next
and Previous buttons, .
If unchecked, the page is displayed as is. This may mean that the page
does not reflect the current database state. It is normally OK to leave
this option checked but if reloading a page from history becomes too
slow
because the database has grown very large, you can turn this option off.
Initially this option will be turned on.
