If you have already set up users in a reader that you are connecting to HandNet,
you do not need to recreate those users. You can get user information from the
reader by doing this:
1. Pick Network from the View menu (or type CTRL-N).
2. On the list of readers in the right pane of the Network window, select the
reader(s) to get user information from.
3. Click the Reader menu, click Upload, and click Users.
4. The program asks you to confirm that you want to upload users from the
reader; click Yes to continue.
You only need to import users if you have readers connected to several different
computers (each with its own copy of HandNet) and if users added to one
system need to be available on the others. If all of your readers are connected
to a single copy of HandNet, you do not need this feature.
The export feature is only available if you have purchased the upgrade to the full
feature set of Version 2.0.
Make sure that you select the correct choices for what to import on the User
Import/Export tab in System Settings before you try to import; see page 28. When
HandNet imports, it empties the Import file, discarding those user records that
do not meet the conditions you have checked there.
1. On the computer where you exported users, go to the HandNet
directory and copy the file export.mdb to a floppy disk (you could also
copy this file to a network drive, attach it to an e-mail, etc.).
2. Rename the file on the disk (or in the new location) to import.mdb.
3. Put this import.mdb file into the HandNet directory on the computer
where you want to import users.
4. If you do not have that copy of HandNet set up to import automatically,
pick Import Users from the File menu (if you have the Enable box under
Auto Import checked on the User Import/Export tab in System Settings,
HandNet starts importing as soon as it finds the import.mdb file in the
directory; see page 28).
The activity window lists each user that is added, deleted or changed.
