Hello,

I have now got minivend working in the sense that it is accepting the
MySQL database called "minivend" named minivend as suggested in the
manual, and starting up without error.

However, for the life of me I can't work out how minivend knows which
table in the database to use.

It knows the database name because that is set in the catalog.cfg file,
so where in the .cfg file do you tell it to use a table called
"businesses" as the default table ?

If it is set like "products    products.asc" do you have to make a file
in the database directory called businesses.asc and if so what do you
put in the file "businesses.asc" to tell minivend that the table to use
as default is "businesses" ?

Why is this simple feat so complicated, and where is the documentation
to accomplish it?

I have asked a simple question about the "catalog.cfg" file before and
it seems that minivend users think that configuring the config file is
so simple that the question was not worth answering.

I would be extremely grateful if someone could answer this question and
give me some pointers please

Thanks, indeed many thanks in advance

Roger
