Update From Web Dialog Box
</h1>
<p>
This dialog box is used to update the <em>CodeSnip</em> database from the
internet. It is displayed using the <em>Database | Update From
Web</em> menu option.
</p>
<p>
The <em>Update from Web</em> button should be clicked to initiate the
update. <strong>Note:</strong> you must ensure you are connected to the
internet before clicking this button otherwise a "Connection
Error" message will be displayed.
</p>
<p>
Once the <em>Update from Web</em> button has been clicked it will be
replaced by a progress report pane. The update will then begin.
</p>
<p>
<em>CodeSnip</em> first logs on to the web server and then determines if
your copy of the database is out of date. If so the latest version is
downloaded. A progress bar is displayed while the database is being
downloaded. A confirmatory message is displayed once the process is
complete.
</p>
<p>
<strong>Note:</strong> The database will be updated for all users, since
each user accesses the same copy of the database.
</p>
<h2>
Cancelling the update
</h2>
<p>
The <em>Close</em> button is replaced by a larger <em>Cancel Update</em>
button while the update is in progress. This button can be clicked at any
time to cancel the update. <em>CodeSnip</em> will restore the previous
database. <strong>Note:</strong> database downloads can't be
interupted.
</p>
<h2>
Update errors
</h2>
<p>
If <em>CodeSnip</em> detects an error while updating it aborts the
update, restores the old database and displays a brief error message at
the top of the the dialog box. More details of the error are displayed in
the progress report pane.
</p>
<p>
If you see a "Connection Error" check your internet connection
and try again. If you receive web server or time out errors this may be
due to the server being down or busy so it is worth trying later.
</p>
<p>
If a server or timeout error persists please inform the author via the
DelphiDabbler website's

</p>
<h2>
News
</h2>
<p>
The updater downloads some news about developments with <em>CodeSnip</em>
and the online database. If any current news is found it is displayed in
the <em>news pane</em> at the bottom of the dialog.
</p>
<p>
If there is more than one news item you can move backwards and forwards
through them using the arrow buttons that appear below the news pane.
