Configuring ACT!
On MetaFrame, ACT! can be set up to allow a shared database to be used
simultaneously by multiple users and for unshared databases to be used by
individuals. In either case, permissions must be set to allow proper access.
All users who share a common database must have access to both the database file
(that is, Contacts.dbf) and the directory that contains the database file (for
example, C:\Act\Database). If a user does not have the correct permissions when
he or she starts ACT! for the first time, the Database Setup wizard does not accept
any database filenames. When this happens, the user must exit the Setup wizard
and choose New from the File pull-down menu to create a database and save it in
a location where he or she has sufficient rights.
