		Who's-In? Installation

Thank you for choosing to evaluate our 5 user 
Who's-In? Trial Pack !

Installing Who's-In? involves the following steps:

We will assume you have unzipped/expanded the file you
downloaded into a directory on your local C: drive...

* Run the Who's-In? SETUP.EXE program which will copy all
  the files from your local C drive to a File Server,
  create a new Folder/Group and automatically run the 
  Administrator Program.
* Add some users, or Import them from an ASCII text file. 
  ( Add yourself as the first user! )
* Double click your name from the User List and set 
  Global Access Rights ON. 
  (This will allow you to change anyone's Status.)
* Select your receptionist's name from the user list, 
  and also set his/her Global Access Rights to ON.
* Run the main Who's-In program, and it will ask you to 
  select the user name for this PC. Select your own name 
  at this point, and you are up-and-running.
* Add the WI-USER.EXE program icon to each user's Startup 
  Group/Folder, or simply run the INSTALL.EXE (Workstation 
  Installation) program, which will create a WHOS-IN 
  Group/Folder, and add the required Icons.


INSTALLING PROGRAM FILES AND DATABASE 
FILES TO DIFFERENT LOCATIONS:
The database files may be located on a different drive 
and/or directory to assist those people who require the .EXE 
files to be placed in a READ ONLY area, and the database 
to be located in a READ / WRITE area.

To move the database to a new location:
* Create the new subdirectory at the desired location.  
  Example: W:\APPS\WHOS-IN\DATABASE
* Move WHOS-IN.MDB, WHOS-IN.LDB, WISERIAL.LDB, WISERIAL.MDB,
  HUDSON.MDA AND HUDSON.LDB to the new location.
* Run the Admin Program, and from the FILE MENU, 
  choose DATABASE PATH and enter the new location. 
  (This must be accessable to all users, and we highly 
  recommend you use Universal Naming Convention path names, 
  not dedicated drive letters.)
  Example UNC Path:  \\SERVER\SHARE_NAME\PATH\

IMPORTANT:
It is important that the database location drive assignment 
for all users be identical. The program files drive assignment 
may be different for different users, but the database directory 
assignment must be identical for all users at all times.
(OR you may use Universal Naming Conventions to attach to a 
server. eg. \\SERVER\SHARE\PATH\ )

Example:
(Assuming the program files are installed to W:\APPS\WHOS-IN 
and the database files have been installed to X:\WHOS-IN.)

Drive W may be assigned to different users as G H J or 
whatever, but the database must always be assigned to X 
for all users !  The reason for this is that the file 
WHOS-IN.INI contains the Path to the database, and if 
the drive assignment is different for a user, they will 
be unable to locate the database.

The WHOS-IN.INI file containing the path to the database 
files may be edited (with NotePad) after installation to 
display a UNC path if required.

MS ACCESS COMPATIBILITY PROBLEMS

IMPORTANT:
It is essential you use the MS Access Jet Engine 
( MSAJT200.DLL ) supplied with Who's-In?  The file may 
appear to be the same as the standard file supplied with 
Access 2, but it is not. We use version 2.5 and the two 
are not compatible. ( Someone on your network using 
version 2.0 of this DLL is the most likely cause of 
corrupted database errors.)

Please consider a system wide upgrade of this DLL for all 
your users. Contact Microsoft for a complete Access upgrade 
and ask for ACCSRV.EXE (Access Service Pack) or download 
the zipped version from the Who's-In area within the 
HUDSON Forum on msn.
(NOTE: The Access Service Pack is 1.9mb (compressed) and 
includes many additional DLL's to bring Access up to 
version 2.5)

MS ACCESS FILE INFORMATION:

Old file details (MS Access version 2.0) :
MSAJT200.DLL    04 Apr 1994    994496

New file details (MS Access version 2.5):
MSAJT200.DLL    20 Nov 1994    995056

IMPROVING NETWORK PERFORMANCE

The Who’s-In? Setup program copies all files into the 
directory on the server you specify, however due to the 
large size of several of the Microsoft DLL’s 
(eg MSAJT200.DLL = almost 1Mb) loading these files from 
the server to a workstation each time Who’s-In? is run 
each day can degrade network performance.  Multiply the 
file sizes by say, 100 or more users, and we are talking 
huge amounts of network traffic each morning!  To enhance 
the load times of  Who's-In? you may choose to copy the 
required files to each users local PC, however there are 
also disadvantages in doing so...

If your users run Windows from their own local (C:) drives, 
you may choose to run the INSTALL.EXE program (located on 
the server) from each users PC, and choose the copy files 
option.  This option will :

· Create a WHOS-IN directory on the users PC.
· Copy the required files from the File Server to the 
  users local Hard Disk.
· Create a new Who's-In? Group or Folder.
· Create the required Icons in the Group or Folder.

In this case, the ICON properties will point to the 
.EXE files located on the users local Hard Disk. Then, when 
Who's-In? is run, it will read the local copy of WHOS-IN.INI 
to locate the database files on the Server.  This will 
dramatically improve the performance of your network by 
reducing traffic, and speed up the loading time for Who’s-In?

DISADVANTAGES:
· Should the administrator for some reason move the WHOS-IN 
  directory on the server, each users local copy of 
  WHOS-IN.INI (located in the program files directory) would 
  need to be updated with the new server location.
· When installing an updated version of  Who's-In? in the 
  future, the files on each users PC will be out of date, 
  and the INSTALL / copy files procedure would need to be 
  run again for each user.

DO NOT USE THE COPY FILES OPTION IF YOUR USERS RUN WINDOWS 
FROM A SHARED DIRECTORY ON THE SERVER.
