In the Client program, under the "File" menu header, select "Connect Database" option. You need to make a network connection to the "POOL1995.MDB" file that is residing in the Manager's directory. The program will make a note of the location for future use. 5) From the Manager's program, where you create members, you must also create a password if you want people to connect to the database. If you leave the password blank, they will not be allowed to access anything. 6) The Manager must also make a week available for network users (usually the current week). The Manager does not have to have his program running in order for clients to connect and submit their selections (but the computer does have to be powered on, running windows, and connected to the network). **** Please see the help file for other instructions. Have fun and good luck!
