| If you need to use either Extra!32
or TossEm! on a network, special steps are required in order to
accomplish this functionality. Please follow the steps contained
within this document to accomplish this task.
After installing either system, you can only
access its data from that same computer. In a network environment,
you will want to share this data with other computers on the network.
Never use the computer that acts as the server as
if it were a workstation. Doing so will cause you to lose
information!
Networking Extra!32 and TossEm!
is accomplished thru the use of the Borland Database Administrator.
This program is automatically installed with Extra!32 and TossEm!
and is accessed through the Windows' Control Panel.
Follow these steps in the order presented:
 | Install Extra!32 or TossEm! on the server computer. |
 | Using the Create Database feature of the program you
installed, create the database that you will be using. Refer
to the system's on-line help for assistance in doing this, if
needed. |
 | Install Extra!32 or TossEm! on each client
computer. |
 | Make sure that each client computer is mapped to the server
computer. |
 | Open the Borland Database Administrator in each client
computer by clicking on Start|Control Panel|BDEAdministrator.
The remaining steps need to be completed on
every client computer. |
 | Select Object|New from the menu bar. In the window
displayed, simply click the OK pushbutton leaving the default
selection as STANDARD. |
 | In the left panel, you will see a new entry that reads STANDARD1.
This entry is ready to be renamed. Change the name from STANDARD1
to the name of the database that you created on the server
computer. |
 | In the right pane, click on the word PARADOX in the Default
Driver field and change the selection to DBASE. |
 | Click on the Path field. A button will appear
at the end of the field. Click on this button in order
to find the location of your database folder on the server computer.
To do so, click on the Drives field and select the
drive letter for the server computer. The left pane
will now show all the folders on the server computer. Double
click on the Extra!32 folder, then double click
on the folder whose name is that of the database that you
created. Finally, click the OK pushbutton. |
 | Select Object|New from the menu bar, again. In the
window displayed, simply click the OK pushbutton leaving the
default selection as STANDARD. |
 | In the left panel, you will see a new entry that reads STANDARD1.
This entry is ready to be renamed. Change the name from STANDARD1
to EXTRAROOT. |
 | In the right pane, click on the word PARADOX in the Default
Driver field and change the selection to DBASE. |
 | Click on the Path field. A button will appear
at the end of the field. Click on the button in order
to find the location of the Extra!32 folder on the
server computer. To do so, click on the Drives
field and select the drive letter for the server computer.
The left pane will now show all the folders on the server
computer. Double click on the Extra!32
folder, then click the OK pushbutton. |
 | Close the Borland Database Administrator window. If
you are prompted to save your changes, respond Yes. |

the server computer. |
