Home Forums Discussions General Discussion Do I need a server?

I'm a solo doc and I have AC running on 3 computers.

One is the "server" in the office managers room and the others are in the examining rooms.
The "server" computer is also used by the manager for our PM software, so thus it is not a true dedicated server.

It seems more often than not, my exam room computers have trouble finding the AC database file. I have to manually search for it on the network even though the main "server" computer is running. How can I avoid this? Do I need a dedicated computer solely for AC database or is there a flaw in the software?

Thanks
