Hi

We will have five users all sharing the same mailing list. How do we configure this?

Thank you

To share your database and settings on a network you should set two options (for each system that the software is installed on):

- Set "Usage Profile" to "Network Shared Database" (File > Options, Database): Ensures the database is not corrupted by simultaneous editing
- Use a Different Configuration for each Database (File > Options, Database): Stores the settings with the database rather than on the local PC

Then use one system to create a database on a shared network drive (or copy an existing database and the settings files). You can then use "File > Open Mailing List" to point each PC to the shared network database.

Note: Avoid sharing the database from a Network Attached Storage device as they often use simplistic file locking which can slow access to the database. It is best to store the database on a file server or Windows PC.

Hi Nigel,
We will have three users updating our mailing list.
We are looking at sharing our database using Google Drive.
What do you think?
Thanks.
