Restoring the Database to another user's computer

[teriantti]

1. I'm trying to make a back up of a database for safe keeping just in case my computer were to

crash.

2. I want to be able to then put that on another employee's computer that is our second user.

I can't figure out how to do it! So frustrated! 

Thank you! Teri

You would use File | Backup| to make a safe copy.

If you want it on another computer and share updates, you need to use synchronisation

Hi Teri,

You did not provide much information about your issue. Ex; Current  verison of ACT!, how is that other user configured? Were they a remote database that was syncing to your main database? What operating systems, etc.

In this case, The main thing though is having a good backup, using ACT! File / Backup / Database and Personal Files.

Backup each users databases.

This free Download will Greatly and Easily help you manage your ACT! Backups.

Without knowing your exact environment and need, it is difficult to recommed the proper method  of restoring.

ex: ACT! / File / Restore Database / Restore As ?? etc..

Hope that helps a little. Cheers - FSB
