How to connect to a database

If, after an update, or a fresh install you need to connect to an existing database:

• When prompted with the message “Do you want to allow the following app to make changes to this computer?” select Yes
• Cancel out of the welcome screen and login windows with the X buttons
• Go to Administration > Tools > Edit Database location
• Click Browse and find the database location (Note: if your database is on an external drive you will need to navigate to it via the ip “192.168…“ or unc “\\server” path)
• Choose the database (usually named PracticeManager.accdb)
• Click OK
• The program will close. Reopen it as normal from the desktop icon.
