To move your application from the current server to a new one:


    1- Copy the application folder from the current server to somewhere on the C:\ drive of the new server;


    2- Work out where the current Configur.dat and DeNetwork.ovl files are kept, by looking at the DEPATH variable value in the “Environment Variables” window of one of the workstations (please see attached “Environment Varibles.bmp” for an example to what the screen should look like. You can access the “Environment Variables” window via the properties of “My Computer”;


    3- Once you find the location of the folder to where these two files are stored, copy this folder to somewhere on the C:\ drive of the new server;


    4- Back in the “Environment Variables” section for EACH workstation, change the DEPATH variable value to point from the current location to the new location on the new server;


    5- Finally, on each workstation, change the DataEase shortcut target to point to the new application folder.
