There are a number of files in a novaPDF subdirectory under the main program directory, which constitute the novaPDF printer driver used by DONATION for Saving Reports, Receipts and Letters as PDF Files. The installation of this printer driver also installs a novaPDF menu under Start ⇒ Programs on your computer. There is an uninstall option in that menu.
The following files are in the main Data Directory for the program, whose location varies by your version of windows:
| DONATION.ini | Holds various settings stored by the program (most of which were stored in the Windows Registry in versions of DONATION prior to 3.30). |
| databases.txt | Holds your list of databases, if you use the Database ⇒ Switch Databases menu option to create and switch between multiple databases for multiple organizations. |
| donsl.txt | Holds your license key(s), for versions of DONATION other than the legacy Lite version (which does not need license keys). |
| donupdt.exe etc. | Any installation files that are downloaded for you by the Tools ⇒ Check for Updates menu option are stored in this directory. |
| anything.sql | Any saved SQL files, from the Database ⇒ SQL Select menu option's Save to SQL File button, are by default stored in this directory, unless you choose to navigate to a different directory in the Save As dialog box that comes up when you are saving them. |
The following log files are in your Windows Temp directory, whose location varies by your version of windows. The program displays these files to you if it needs to do so. All of these files are empty if the process they are a log file for was successful, and contain error messages (which are displayed to you by DONATION) if the process was unsuccessful.
| BACKUP.LOG | Created each time you do a Backup/Restore ⇒ Backup Database, shows whether or not it was successful. |
| RESTORE.LOG | Created each time you do a Backup/Restore ⇒ Restore Database, shows whether or not it was successful. |

| DONATION4.EMPTY | An empty database that is used to create new databases when you use Database ⇒ Switch Databases. |
| DONATION4.ext | Additional databases that you have created using Database ⇒ Switch Databases. |

The Backup subdirectory of the main Data Directory is the default initial directory for backups made with Backup/Restore ⇒ Backup Database. However, if you change that backup to be elsewhere, the location you used is memorized and used for the next backup or restore. (It is strongly recommended that you backup to a drive other than your local hard drive, such as a USB memory key or a writeable CD, in case your local hard drive dies!)
The Reports subdirectory of the main Data Directory is where any memorized reports from versions of DONATION prior to version 3.66 are stored. (Subsequent versions store them directly in the program's database.)
