Changing the Borland Database Engine "Local Share" to true.

ALL multi-user applications of GreenKeeper Pro MUST CHANGE the local share to TRUE!!!!
Your data files may become corrupted if you do not!!!

Multi-user means more than ONE computer.  If in doubt CHANGE IT!!

******* Local Sharing set to "TRUE" will tell the database engine to watch for more than one operator to be entering data or making sales at the same time.  If it is not set then there is a large chance that you will save a new product only to find that the product did not get saved. 

If you think you will have trouble with this please contact us and we will walk you through the process.

Step 1

  In Windows XP or XP Home click "Start" and then choose "Control Panel"
In Windows 98 or Windows 2000 the control panel is found by clicking "Start" then "Settings" and then "Control Panel".

Step 2

Your computer may show the control panel in several different ways.  No matter how it is shown double click on "BDE Administrator".  If your computer is setup for single click action you will need only click once.
