SQL.INI configuration file help

I have SQLConsole installed on a client machine. When I try and launch the application, I get an error message that says: "Could not connect to the SQLConsole database. Would you like to create the local database?" If I click yes, the Create SQLConsole database Wizard appears and prompts for a username and password. I enter the credentials for the local machine, and I get this error message "Database name not configured".

Below are the contents of my sql.ini file:

; SECTION: Database engines (Windows, Win32, NetWare).
;-------------------------------------------------------------------
;
; NOTES:
; -----
; - SORT and SORTCACHE: In general, the sum of these two parameters
; should not be more than 1/4 th the total real memory available on
; the system. For eg. on a 32 MB machine, the combined values of SORT
; and SORTCACHE could be as high as 8MB.
;
; - DBDIR, LOGDIR and TEMPDIR: These parameters direct the placement of
; database, log and temporary files. For systems with multiple disks,
; immediate performance gains can be realized by directing these files
; to different disk subsystems. For eg. on a system with two disk
; subsystems, DISK1 and DISK2, you may want to set 'DBDIR=DISK1' and
; 'LOGDIR=DISK2' so that I/O throughput is maximized.

; Windows
;-------------
; This section is for the LOCAL Multi-Tasking windows database engine.
; Multiple Windows applications may connect to it at the same time.
; Each is treated as a separate transaction.
;
; System incompatibilities can exist among DBWSERVR, Windows 3.x, and
; SMARTDRV. These incompatibilities can cause outages and/or loss of data if
; the correct settings are not used. For DBWSERVR, always use DIRECTIO=0. For
; SMARTDRV, always disable write caching for disk drives where databases
; exist that DBWSERVR may use. Please refer to the Release Notes for further
; information.

Can anyone offer some help as to why this is happening? I would be VERY greatful.
 
I have the SQL Console installed and can connect to the Database(s) that reside on the network server. Can view statistics, active sessions, cursor info, etc.

Has anyone here ever partitioned a database with this tool?

Can anyone give me some pointers as to what to watch out for?

Thank you in advance for your help.
