    The preceding figure shows the Login ID and Repository Host fields to be disabled, indicating that the connection parameters have been determined. You can redefine these parameters in any open Project, even if you are not currently connected to a CAPS Repository, by selecting Tools > CAPS Repository > Change Connection, which enables these fields for editing. If you do so, all other open Repository-based Projects will be closed automatically, since open Projects must come from a single Repository.
