Create and populate a Remote folder

Note: The steps below are required for FH Enterprise. If you installed FH Standard, skip the steps below and go to Create and edit an FH.INF file.

Warning: Before beginning, verify that all FIREHOUSE Software users are logged out, and that FIREHOUSE Software is not running.

1. Navigate into the folder where you installed FH.

2. Double-click FHEXPAND.EXE.

   The Expander dialog box appears.

   

3. From Folder Type, select Remote Access Database.

4. In Target Location, enter the path to the Remote folder in the FH installation folder.

   Tip: You can also browse to the profile folder by clicking the lookup button and using the Select Directory dialog box that appears.

5. Select Overwrite Existing Files.
6. Select Refresh Database Triggers.

7. Click OK.

   FH Expander populates the Remote folder in the installation folder with clean files.

8. Copy the Remote folder.

9. Navigate into a user's profile folder.

   • (Local profile) The user's profile folder on their workstation.

     Example: C:\Documents and Settings\Jane

   • (Roaming profile) The user's home folder\Windows folder

     Example: \\server name\Jane\Windows

10. Paste the Remote folder into the user's profile folder.

    The Remote folder contains the FH license file, so you do not need to license the user's FH session.

    Note: The user must have full rights to the Remote folder to be able to add, delete and modify files in this folder.

11. Repeat steps 9-10 for each user connecting to FH through a remote session.
