Question: Are there any special requirements for the network?

Answer: If you have a Novell network, it must be long file name compliant. Check that it is. If not, this can be done easily by your network technician. Other networks you can use are a Windows 2000 or 2003 server or a simple Windows peer-to-peer network.

Question: We bought Multiuser Verdict. Where do I install it?

Answer: Quick answer is program on C:, data on server. Install the Verdict program on the C: drive of each computer that should have access to it. Put the data on the server. To do this, first make a subdirectory on the server for the Verdict Data. We recommend Verdict10\Data (a subdirectory called Verdict 10 and, under it, a subdirectory called Data). Then install Verdict 10 on the C: drive of your computer. When you get to the Setup of Subdirectories screen, tell Verdict that the data directory will be on the server, i.e., F:\verdict10\data.

Question: I also purchased CheckWrite. Do I put it in the Verdict subdirectory?

Answer: No. CheckWrite should be in its own subdirectory on the C: drive of each computer that should have access to CheckWrite. The data should be in a subdirectory on the server, i.e., F:\CW8\Data.

Question: What if we don't want everyone to have access to CheckWrite?

Answer: Don't install the CheckWrite program on their computer. The data will be up on the server, but they can't access it. Also CheckWrite as well as Verdict have password protection. Set up passwords and only give selected people the passwords.

Question: What about General Ledger? Where should it be?

Answer: General Ledger should be in its own subdirectory on the C: drive of each computer that should have access to General Ledger. The data should be in a subdirectory on the server, i.e., F:\GL8\Data.

Question: Then how do the programs integrate?

Answer: In CheckWrite, you tell CheckWrite where Verdict and General Ledger are. Go to Settings, to Data Toolbox. Browse and find the subdirectory for Verdict. Then browse and find the subdirectory for General Ledger. In General Ledger, you tell General Ledger where Verdict is in Settings on the data Toolbox tab.
