HOW TO: Copy a FLEETMATE JET Database
to a Different PC or a File Server
Overview:
As a default, your FLEETMATE JET database file is named "FLEETMATE.fdb",
and its default location is the "C:\Users\Public\FLEETMATE"
folder on your local disk.
If you need to move your database file to a different PC, or if you want to
store your database file on a file server for shared access, please follow the
steps below:
Process:
-
Copy your FLEETMATE.fdb database from your original PC, to a
portable storage device,
such as a USB drive.
-
Copy the FLEETMATE.fdb database file from your USB
drive to the "C:\Users\Public\FLEETMATE"
folder on your new PC, or into a folder of your choice on a file server.
Important Notes:
-
The above process will replace the existing database file (if it
exists), so be certain that the database that you are overwriting does not
contain any data that you need to preserve.
-
If you are moving your database file to a file server, set Windows
permissions to grant Full Control to the folder on your server where you
are storing your database file. Each user will also need to open the database
file from its new location on your server using the File | Database | Open...
menu function. Each FLEETMATE user will need to do this one-time so that
the new location will be remembered between sessions.
