5.18. Share the data files between 2 workstations

The first thing you will need to do is to find out where the data files reside. To do this, run the software, click on the Help, then select About..  

This will display the About screen.  On the bottom of the screen you should see the data file location as pictured below.

Next thing you should do is move the files. Navigate to the file location and copy the data folder.
You will need to paste the copy of the database to a shared folder on the server.

Install the software on the 2nd workstation. Point both workstations using the REGEDIT software to the location on the server then they will both be accessing and sharing the same data.

Easiest way to load the URL database location into REGEDIT is to use Windows Explorer and browse to the Network data folder.

Then right click at the top of the screen and Copy Address as Text.


Then Paste that location into the REGEDIT program

 Click OK to save. 

Close the Registry Editor and you should be able to run the software and it will now be pointing to the new shared data location.
