2. Open Change User Access Control application
   1. Go to the Windows start button (Figure 1; Item 1) > ICP-MS MassHunter Workstation folder (Figure 1; Item 2) > Change User Access Control (Figure 1; Item 3).

3. Update the Database Folder Path. In the following example, VAIMDB_Database1(000)|Data1 (Figure 3; Item 1) is the old database folder path. VAIMDB_Data2(000) (Figure 4; Item 2) is the new database previously created in SDA. 
   1. In the Configure User Access Control dialog box, click the Browse button (Figure 3; Item 2).
      If you receive an error: "Information of server and folder path cannot be updated while there are queued tasks in Instrument Control" return to Step 1 to clear the acquisition queue.
