Note: Do not attempt to move an existing database by changing the location listed in the
Database Location field. See instructions about creating a new database location.
If you change the location listed in the Database Location field without first moving the database
manually, you will receive a message asking, "Do you wish to create a new database?" If you click OK,
Remote Link creates a new database at the location that you just assigned and ignores the previous
database. This means you will not have access to any previous account information and
configurations settings from the previously existing Remote Link database.
Note: If you are using Remote Link on a computer connected to a network, run the Remote
Link program from your local hard drive, not from a network drive. Remote Link accesses the
database more quickly if the database is located on the local computer than if it is located on
a network drive. Only one computer at a time may use a Remote Link database.
System > Log ON / OFF
Before using Remote Link, you must log in to the program with a user name and password. When you
open Remote Link, the Log On window automatically displays. You may log off and then log in as
another user any time the program is open.
The default log in is new for both your user name and password. Be sure the Caps Lock is not on.
Note: Keep track of your passwords and remember to always keep them in a safe location.
