Setup up Network Settings:

If you haven't placed your Databases on the File Server or Program server then click on Default and enter in your "User Name". Every user will use their own user name. If you have several Users with the same name then you can put in for example: Dennis M and Dennis C or you can put their whole name.

If you have placed your Databases on the server then you can find those files and click on "Save Directory".

If you can't find your drive then you may have to map your network drive. Click here for more infomation on how to map a network drive.
