Take backup before you start, just in case you make a mistake. Also, stop down-loader program of
the attendance reader (re-start, once you have tested and are satisfied with new configuration).
On First (Main) PC
1. Move TASQLCOM.MDB, TASQLDAT.MDB and SOFTOOL6.MDW files to another
folder like C:\PROGRAM FILES\TAS2KSQL\TASDATA (cut/paste so that these three
files do not exist in default folder anymore). Join Workgroup SOFTOOL6 again.
2. Share this folder such that users have add/delete/modify rights in this share. Test it by
creating a text file in this shared folder and editing it successfully from (a) First PC itself
using network path (UNC) and (b) other PC using that user’s log-in id successfully.
3. Start ‘Operations’, enter path of new destination as indicated in UNC format (\\server-
name\share-name\ e.g. \\AttendanceServer\tasdata\).
4. Edit shortcut of ‘Interface To Post’ in program group to indicate new location of
TASQLCOM.MDB and Start it.
Other PCs
1. Install TAS2000 on second PC
2. Delete:
(a) TASQLCOM.MDB, TASQLDAT.MDB and SOFTOOL6.MDW files from the
C:\PROGRAM FILES\TAS2KSQL folder.
(b) “Interface To Post Data” shortcut in program group.
3. Join SOFTOOL6.MDW workgroup in shared folder created on First PC.
4. Login into Compact and Repair as siteadmin and remove entries of TASQLCOM.MDB
and TASQLDAT.MDB files from the table.
5. Start Operations and when asked enter the path of TASQLCOM.MDB and
TASQLDAT.MDB files in the shared folder.
In case CITRIX is being used to connect multiple users remotely, do the following for each
user on the same Citrix server:
1. Install TAS2000 for each remote user in different folders on the Citrix server. Ensure also
that each user gets separate program group shortcuts.
2. Delete (a) TASQLCOM.MDB (b) TASQLDAT.MDB files (c) TAS2KTMP.MDB files
from user’s installation folder and (d) “Interface To Post Data” shortcut in program group.
3. Follow Step 3, 4 and 5 above.
Important Note:
1. Only one instance of the “Interface to Post Data” should be running and that too only on the
first PC.
2. The first instance of “Operations” should start on the first PC (preferably use TAS2000 user
ID). You can ensure this by configuring your PC to start ‘Operations’ automatically on system
start-up.
3. Preferably, no user should be working on the first PC.
4. Different users should login with their own Ids and close ‘Operations’ when not using.
