Timekeeper 97 on a LAN
Timekeeper 97 on a LAN
Timekeeper 97 may be used on a Local Area Network. The normal arrangement would be to keep the database file, TkUserData, on the server and to run the Timekeeper user interface programs on one or more client machines. To create such an installation:
- Install Timekeeper 97 on one of the client machines.
- If you have existing data from a previous version of Timekeeper then use the Restore function of the Timekeeper utility to get this data into your new Timekeeper 97.
- Move the file TkUserData to your server. It is best to then delete or rename the TkUserData on the client machine so it can not get confused with your real user data which is now on the server.
- Run the Timekeeper Utility. Select the TkUserData on the server as the data file. Click attach data to program. Now the Timekeeper program is using the data on the server.
- If you need more clients then install Timekeeper 97 on each additional client. Then delete the empty TkUserData and use the Utility to attach the Program to the TkUserData on the server.
Setup will normally install Timekeeper 97 in C:\Program Files\Timekeeper\. See Timekeeper 97 files for the files in the Timekeeper folder.
Whenever you use the Timekeeper utility you will need to select the TkUserData on the server as the data file. The Utility looks for TkUserData in the Timekeeper folder on the client. When it does not find this file it shows an empty box for the user data. This is why is is a bad idea to have an unused TkUserData in the Timekeeper folder on the client.
You could install Timekeeper on the server and use the Timekeeper Utility and Program from there as well as on the client machines.
