Everyday, however, the wireless computer needs to search for the Database on the server.
Three thoughts I have:
1. Could the computer with the AC database (AC calls it the "main computer", whether it is a server or not) be going to sleep or "hibernating"? This would interrupt the wireless connection of the main computer, forcing the client computer to look for a database every time it logs onto the wireless network.
What to try: Use the Control Panel>Hardware & Sound>Power Options settings to set up the main computer to never sleep. If that doesn't work, set up both computers not to sleep.
2. Do you have your wireless network set up to "connect automatically when in range"? This setting is in the Network & Internet control panel (choose Network & Sharing Center, and then (in the left margin) "Manage wireless networks". Double click on the network's icon, and the connection window opens.
3. Do you have your main & client computers set up to "Turn on network discovery"? This setting is in the Network & Internet control panel (choose Network & Sharing Center, and then (in the left margin) "Change advanced sharing settings".
Post back if this works or still having problems.
