switching libraries vs changing storage loc
#2
You can do that, but you just have to make sure you do things in the right order:

1) Using the switch library settings screen, create library#2 and library#3 first. This ensures that the databases are listed in the MobileSheets configuration files.
2) Now exit MobileSheetsPro, rename your mobilesheets.db files for library#2 and library#3 and move them into same directory where the default mobilesheets.db is stored. 
3) The main problem you will run into is that all of the files and folders are stored in the database relative to the storage location. So if you switch to library#2, all of the file paths will be broken. If you use the fix broken file paths utility, it should be able to correctly locate all of the files on the tablet, but all of the database paths will have to be switched from relative to absolute, as they are no longer under the main storage location folder. If you created one more level of folder depth under your storage location, and had folders for "library 1", "library 2" and "library 3", then moved all the files/folders under those, then all of the database paths would stay relative to the storage location, which ensures things work as smoothly as possible. It's up to you if you want to take that extra step.
