ChurchKeeper Networking Instructions

ChurchKeeper is fully net workable. We recommend a Network Administrator, who has been trained or certified by Microsoft, setup your network. Our staff will answer general questions related to networking, but we will not network your office over the phone. Computer networking falls outside the realms of support. However, we can arrange to network your office, including instructions over the phone. The fees for this usually range around $75 (one hour phone support). For qualified network engineers, the following are instructions for networking:

On the Server:

1) Install ChurchKeeper to the C:\ Drive with full access. Make sure you install it to the default folder which is: C:\CHMANPRO. ( ** If you have already installed ChurchKeeper on this computer, go to step 3 ** ).

2) Click here to download ChurchKeeper

3) Share this resource C:\CHMANPRO with full access. To share a resource, go to 'My Computer' and then to your Local Disk (C:). Find the folder Chmanpro, and single click it, then right click, and go to 'Sharing and Security'. Under 'Network sharing and security', click on both check boxes, 'Share this folder', and 'Allow network users to change my files'.

On each Workstation:

1) Apply the WSINSTALL program provided by Stellar Day Products. Click on the download link below to receive this program. Click here to download WSINSTALL

2) Create a shortcut to the application on the server either through the network neighborhood or through drive mappings.

For example: \\server\chmanpro\churkpr.exe or E:\churkpr.exe

Go to the properties for this shortcut and make sure the Start-In is the same location as the target.

For example: \\server\chmanpro or E:\

Below are examples of properties of an actual network link on a workstation:

Target: \\manager\chmanpro\CHURKPR.EXE

Start-In: \\manager\chmanpro\

or

Target: E:\CHURKPR.EXE

Start-In: E:\

This last example, a drive mapping was created and associated to drive E: with the location (path or folder) set to \\manager\chmanpro

Either example above will work.

Once you have a successful installation, we recommend you have the System Administrator for ChurchKeeper create a User for each workstation or user. This is done from the Main Menu of ChurchKeeper, then Users/Security.
