Q:  How to install DOHSBase Compare?

A: The installation of the program from the CD is quite easy. If the 'auto run' function is on, the set-up will start automatically. If this does not occur then press Start, choose 'Run' and type 'D:\Setup.exe' (in which 'D' is the driver letter of the CD-player).
The set-up installs DOHSBase Compare in the preferred (sub)directory.
In the folder 'DOHSBase' two programs are placed: DOHSBase.exe and InstDAO. The second program installs the Microsoft Jet Engine. You need this program only if Microsoft Office not on your system.
After installation start the program and fill in the licence name and licence code you received from the DOHSBase administration.

Q: Local installation through the network gives an error.



A: Although it's possible to copy a network installed program to local PC's (conditionally that the number licences is not exceeded) problems may occur due to the fact that registry data are changed during normal installation. A known problem is that Microsoft Jet Engine may not work correctly (this can be solved using InstDAO included on the CD). In this case it is advised to copy the complete CD to the network and perform the installation on the individual PCs from the network. All users should be provided with the licence name and licence code.

Q:  How do I check if the installation of the update was completed correctly?

A:  In some cases the installation of the update does not work correctly. The old database is not replaced by the new one. You can easily check is the update is performed correctly. In the heading of the program (the blue bar at the top of the DOHSBase-window) occurs: 'DOHSBase Compare 0#-0#'. If you read an older number than what is mentioned on the update CD, then the update is not installed correctly.
Now what to do? Uninstall DOHSBase completely from your system using the official Windows procedure (click on 'Start', 'Control Panel', 'Add or Remove Programs', search for 'DOHSBase' in de list of currently installed programs, click on 'Remove', and follow the instructions), and reinstall the program from the CD-ROM using the official Licence name and Licence code .
