Basic Installation

Follow these steps to install the application on a single system:

The first time you run PACWIN you may be prompted to find the database. This is only necessary if PACWIN cant find it in the preset location (C:\Program Files\PACWIN). If you installed PACWIN in another location, browse to that location, select the PAC1.mdb file and hit OK.

Installation in Shared Database Environments

Follow the Basic Installation process but before you open PACWIN on any system follow these steps to move the database to a shared location:

*  On the first client system, after installing the application; browse to the PAC1.mdb file (default C:\ Program Files\PACWIN) and move it to the shared location on your network.
*  On all other client systems, after installing the application; browse to the PAC1.mdb file (default C:\ Program Files\PACWIN) and delete it. You will be using the one that you already move to the network location.

The first time you run PACWIN on each system you will be prompted to find the database. Browse to the network location, select the PAC1.mdb file and hit OK.

****************************************************************

Jet 4.0 Driver

The Jet 4.0 driver contains updated versions of several .dll files that are included with Access 2000, Microsoft Office 2000 Developer, Microsoft Visual Basic version 6.0 or later, and other Microsoft products that incorporate Microsoft Jet database engine 4.x. This driver is required to make the database connections required to run the PACWIN program.

The included file update is a self-expanding archive that expands the files to the appropriate folder on computers that are running Windows 95, Windows 98, or Windows NT 4.0. To install the Jet 4.0 update, follow these steps: 
*  Click on Start -> Programs -> PACWIN -> Database Driver
