Creating a New Database (Multi-user) - Server with Graphical Interface (Windows and Macintosh OS 9)

To create a new, multi-user, database, essentially the same steps as those described on the single user page need be followed. Working on the server, simply ensure that there is no database file with the name "1Office.HDB" in the same folder as the FirstOffice application, and launch the application by double-clicking. However, make sure that the "DBDef.txt" and "Default.txt" files are present. A new database is created.

As in a single-user system, you will need to create a Company as the next step. To do this, use the Company register as described on the Creating a New Company page. Make sure that the "Default.txt" file is present if you are creating new Companies. Again, at this stage you can leave the TCP/IP and Port fields empty. Create as many Companies as necessary up to a maximum of four.

When the entry is complete, click the [Save] button. Again, as with the single-user system, the next stage is to inform FirstOffice which Company you wish to use. The 'Companies' list will appear: highlight the single Company and press the Enter key. You should now follow the instructions on the Setting up the Server module page to configure the new database.
