Networking Instructions
ExpenseKeeper is fully networkable. We recommend a Network
Administrator, who has been trained or certified by Microsoft,
setup your network. Stellar Day Products will answer general
questions related to networking, but we will not network your
office over the phone. Computer networking falls outside the realms
of support. However, we can arrange to network your office,
including instructions over the phone. The fees for this usually
range around $75 (one hour phone support). For qualified network
engineers, the following are instructions for
networking:
On the
Server:
1) Install ExpenseKeeper to
the C:\ Drive with full access. *** If you already have installed and are using ExpenseKeeper, go to step 3.
2) Click here to download
ExpenseKeeper
3) Share the resource
C:\EXPKPR with full access. To share a resource, go to 'My
Computer' and then to your Local Disk (C:), then find the folder
Chmanpro, and single click it, and then right click, and go to
'Sharing and Security', and under 'Network sharing and security',
click on both check boxes, 'Share this folder', and 'Allow network
users to change my files'.
On each
WorkStation:
1) Apply the WSINSTALL
program provided by WSG. Click on the download link below to
receive this program.
Click here to download WSINSTALL
2) Create a shortcut to the
application on the server either through the network neighborhood
or through drive mappings.
For example:
\\server\expkpr\expkpr.exe or E:\expkpr.exe
Go to the properties for
this shortcut and make sure the Start-In is the same location as
the target.
For example:
\\server\expkpr or E:\
Below are examples of
properties of an actual network link on a workstation:
Target:
\\manager\expkpr\EXPKPR.EXE
Start-In:
\\manager\expkpr\
or
Target:
E:\EXPKPR.EXE
Start-In: E:\
This last example, a drive
mapping was created and associated to drive E: with the location
(path or folder) set to \\manager\expkpr
Either example above will
work.
Once you have a successful
installation, we recommend you have the System Administrator for
ExpenseKeeper create a User for each workstation or user. This is
done from the Main Menu of ExpenseKeeper, then
Users/Security.
