About Mapping Book-It
|
- The program files will remain on the C:/ of every individual computer.
(C:/EBT/PGMS/)
- It doesn't matter what computer you decide to be the server, but every computer
in your network needs to be connected to that computer.
- When you install the DeskTop Download (that installs the program, but not the
database) you need to have the Server already mapped on the computer.
- We can help you map Book-It via the web if you need help. You can call us
at 817-485-5658 or
Email EBT.

On whatever computer that you are trying to map to, if the databases are on your
computer under: c:\ebt\bk2k\ then the MAPPED drive on the other computer should
be mapped to another drive, Y (as an example drive) Y:\ebt so when you look at
on the main computer – you can see \bk2k\ as one of the folders. Then on the INI
it should be Y:\bk2k\
What is INI? INI is a file name extension used in Microsoft Windows. The letters
stand for initialization. As this term implies, INI files are used to
initialize, or set parameters for, the operating system and certain programs
including Book-It.

2. |
There has to be at least one folder, which would contain the databases, below
the actual drive that is being mapped. So if you're looking on "My Computer" on
the main computer it would similar to: |
|
|
My Computer
Y: \bk2k
(you can see bk2k as a folder under Y: - from the main computer)* to be double
sure make sure you can see bk2.mdb
So the INI would look like:
User Path To Data=Y\Bk2k\
User Path To Program=c:\ebt\pgms\ |
|
3. |
If you have received an error between 53 - 76, when opening Book-It the network
connections between your computer and the computer that have the databases, are
not available. |
|
4. |
First, write down the drive letter that you have "mapped" the network drive.
Please keep in mind, that the drive has to be a logical drive letter (i.e. "P" ,
not a name like "John's Computer") |
|
5. |
Go To Start,
Go To Run.
In the place where it say "Open", type in CMD (and press enter). |
|
6. |
You should now be a DOS prompt (a black background that will have something
similar typed: C:\Documents and Settings\YourUserName>) |
|
7. |
Type in the Drive Letter that you are trying to get to: (i.e. P drive) .. and
press Enter |
|
8. |
The drive letter should now be displayed in the DOS prompt. (i.e. ) should look
like P:\> |
|
9. |
If the above works correctly, then go to Windows Explorer (usually found under
Program, then Accessories.) |
|
10. |
In the address bar, type in the same drive (and press Enter) The list of the
folders should be displayed |
|
11. |
Next, click on the folder where the Book-It databases are located. Once you find
the database (bk2.mdb) - then you can go to
C:/Windows/Bk2.ini if your computer is older than a Vista. If you have a
Vista, Windows 7, or newer go to: C:/EBT/PGMS/Bk2.ini
{go to Run, then to Open, Type in C:/Windows/Bk2.ini or C:/EBT/PGMS/ and click
ok.}. |
|
12. |
Once the file is open, (it will open in Notepad, go to where it says User Path
to Data = c:\ebt\bk2k\ and replace c:\ebt\bk2k\ with the path that you just used
in Windows Explorer. Save your settings, and you should be ready to go. |
