- [DATABASE FILE LOCATION]
-
- On installation of the Swift POS program, the blank
- database files are written into the installation folder.
- The default installation folder is:
- C:\Program Files\Swift POS\
-
- It is possible for the files to be centrally located
- for other workstations to have access to them by
- copying the files into a 'shared' folder on a network
- computer.
-
- When Swift POS is launched for the first time,
- it prompts the user for the path to the database
- files. For single-user application, it is not neces-
- sary to change the default path that appears on
- the screen. If more than one workstation will be
- using the same database, the user must know
- where the database files have been placed on
- the network, and either browse to that folder or
- simply enter the entire path to the folder contain-
- ing the files.
-
- In the event the files are moved to a new location
- and the Swift POS workstations need to change to
- a new folder, the ADMINISTRATOR can reset the
- path by selecting the DATA PATH option under the
- EDIT menu at the top of the screen.
-
- The current path to the database files can be found
- on the bottom of the CUSTOMER DB, PRODUCT DB,
- and SALE DB window when selected under the
- VIEW menu at the top of the screen.
