Hello,

I have a dumb question.  I recently purchased Sesame with an extra license (Sesame Plus).  I have two computers and I want both to be able to input data at the same time on one customer database.  With that in mind, I setup the programs with the shortcuts as outlined in the provided documentation.  Everything seems to be working.  The server status window shows my customer database is loaded, and that two computers are connected.  My problem is I don't know how to get the second computer to actually input data.  When I open it in client mode, I just have the sesame opening screen with no apparent network options to enter data into the loaded customer database.  I can login as a server admin on the second computer and I get no error messages saying it failed to connect.

Am I missing something obvious?  Thanks in advance.

I don't see it listed, how do I point it to it?  All I see are local files on the second computer, not the customer database on the server/second computer.

Hello,

In the properties of Sesame on the Second computer in the target do you have

c:\Sesame2\Program\sesame.exe -client ServerName

Where ServerName is the name of the 1st computer that is running Sesame Server?

Yes, I haved that typed into the shortcut to the program on the desktop on the second computer.  In the server administration window I can see both computers listed by the names I game them as well.

Hello,

Give me a call tomorrow at 1-800-293-9549 anytime from 9-5 Eastern and I'll help you get this figured out.

I tried calling the support number given and no one answered or gave me a call back after I left a message.  I'll try calling again when I have the chance, but in the meanwhile I thought I'd post on here quick again to see if there is something obvious I'm missing that I can fix without calling (seems like the support line is pretty busy).

So to review, basically I have my two computers networked with one of them containing the database I want to work on.  I bought an extra license and have activated it in each program.  

Here's a description of the steps I'm currently taking to try to load my database over the network, maybe you can tell me if I'm doing something wrong that's obvious:  

I first load the server on my main computer with the -server shortcut I created.  It loads the server status window and after this has come up I open Sesame with the -client shortcut I created.  Once Sesame has opened, I load the customer database I want to work on.  Once loaded, the customer database is shown as loaded in the server status window (as well as showing 1 of 2 connections).

After this, I go to my second computer and open Sesame with the -client shortcut I created.  Once I do this, Sesame opens but nothing happens.  However, if I go back to the server status window, it shows there is now another connection, and if I login to the server admin window it shows both computers on the network.  Also, I receive no error messages when trying to connect.

So, I have a feeling I'm missing something stupidly obvious.  I just need to get the second computer to open up the customer database I have loaded on the first so that both can edit and retrieve records simultaneously.

It was Friday at around 3 central time.  It's not a big deal I didn't get a call back, I called late in the day and right before the weekend.

When I click open application on the second computer I don't see my customer database file.  Does the customer database file I want to work with have to be stored in the default directory that Sesame uses to save things in?  I have the database file in a different folder than the one Sesame uses by default.

There's no need to share the folder.

What directory is the file stored in?
