Each machine will now have access to the
server's database. For multi-user installations of Mamut Business Software, you first have to install the program on a machine and select which machine/server the database should be placed. Next, you need to share the Data folder and give other machines full access to the database so that they can link to it and retrieve information from there.
The below procedure differs slightly for Windows Vista users. Read more about this here.
How to share the Data folder
Open the Windows Explorer.
Browse for the folder where you installed the program. If you selected the default location this will be at C:/Program Files/Mamut.
Right-click the Mamut folder.
Select Sharing from the menu that opens.
Select the Share this folder alternative.
Check that the users who will be using the database have access to the shared folder.
Click Permission to name the users with access.
NB! Remember to go to the Security tab in the Mamut Properties window and to give the users access there as well, if using Windows NT, 2000, XP or 2003.
