Should I use Single-User or Multi-User Mode?
Usually, on a stand-alone computer you will use the Single-User Mode and on a network you will use a Multi-User Mode. However, in some situations you may want to use a different User Mode.
-
On a stand-alone computer, if there is more than one person accessing the program, and if you want every person to have his/her own private database (possibly protected by a password) you should use a Multi-User Mode.
-
On a stand-alone computer, if you create many different databases, and if you want to organize databases into logical groups (accounts) you could use a Multi-User Mode (e.g.: personal databases, business databases, other databases).
-
On a network, if you don't need security, and you want a simple setup you might want to use a Single-User Mode - in this mode multiple users can still access the same database at the same time.
How can I change/define user modes?
-
On the Options menu click Options.
-
In the Options window click Users Tab.
-
Click Multi-User System.
-
If you switched to Multi-User mode by accident log in as Supervisor (User ID: Supervisor) and change Options back to 1-User Mode (click on Options/Users).
