Susan, I believe you need to copy (not cut, leave a copy on your laptop as backup) the following six DB's from your local AC folder to the folder on your desktop. To find this folder open my computer and go to c:\program files\Amazing Charts The files to copy are: amazingcharts.mdb; amazingmeds.mdb; schedule.mdb; billing.mdb; codes.mdb; importeditems.mdb; and also copy the imported items folder. I suggest you simply copy these items to a flash drive, as this will be easiest.
Check to see if everything works properly on your desktop; do you have all of your patients and are the imported items in place? You might receive a 'connection to db lost' error, if you do you should probably select 'no, there are more computers on this network', browser to the local AC folder and select AC.mdb. If things are fine, you now need to share your Amazing Charts folder on your desktop.
I'm not sure about this part. You will need to have both computers on the same Workgroup. Set this by right-clicking My Computer > selecting properties > choosing 'computer name' > clicking 'change'. Now make sure both computers have the same workgroup, change it to clinic or some such if you wish. Now go to your desktop, right click on the Amazing Charts folder > select sharing and security> select 'share this folder' and 'allow other users to access my files', save by clicking ok.
You will probably be able to find the file on your network by going to my computer>my network places, and so on down a list. As long as both computers are on the same network. I'm not sure about the last bit cause I've been doing things a bit differently.
I hope I have helped you. Let me know if I have or not. Sorry, next time I'll use bullets. I probably said much more than was needed
. Good luck!
PS Someone correct me if I missed something. Also, you might be dropped some if you connect wireless; is that your plan?
