Want to connect multiple users to the same data? If your office has a local area network, which most do these days, you might want to consider the use of our method for sharing data. When configured, you will be able to concurrently update and read your data files between participating workstations. Your data can also be backed up by your routine backup procedures.
To implement a shared application, you must have a LAN network in your office with a file server. A peer-to-peer network is also acceptable. Each user must be able to see the file drive in Explorer with a disk drive such as D: or E: etc. and have full access rights (including delete) to the location on the server where the shared data files exist.
In order to use this
feature you will need at least 2 registered licenses to Fiduciary

Additional System Requirements to run multi-user programs on network media:
- 200 MB on a shared server drive
- Laser-compatible or ink-jet printer
- pointing device, trackball, mouse, pad, etc
- CD-ROM or DVD drive on each PC
- Microsoft Office 2000 or above, preferably 2003
- Any network server drive accessible by client machines, either as mapped drive (D:, E:, etc.) or by universal naming convention (ex.\\dir1\subdir1\file)
Note: The Microsoft Windows Office software must reside on each individual PC, not on a LAN.
