Network setup. Installation for multiple users:
If you have 2 or more computer in your medical office, and want multiple users can access and share information, then read the following information:
You will run Medical Database Seven from one main computer (your host computer or “server”), and all other computers will access the program over the network through a Workstation Installation . Once Medical Database Seven has been installed on the network, all maintenance procedures for the data file may only be run from the Host/Server (side of full installation) computer.
To set up Medical Database Seven in a network, you must ensure that at least one computer is installed as the server (full installation) and the rest as clients. This means that the server computer will be the one storing all the information (created, modified and saved by users on other computers) in its database.The other client computers would not save any information on their own, but would access this information from the server. Deciding which computer will be the server and which others will be the clients is important. The following steps highlight this:
Note: The first time you run Medical Database Seven after a Workstation Installation , you will be prompted to provide the path for data tables. See the following instructions and tutorials.

2. If you’re not password protecting your shares click Share in the File sharing window.
3. If you are password protecting your shares select the individual users you want to have access to this share from the drop down list next to the Add button.
