\nWhen a new release or update of SMS Client is installed the changes to the configuration files have to be made again.<\/p>\n
\n1. Create a shared folder on the network.
\nThe shared location should be accessible to all the computers. Ensure that all the users can write to the share. Test the share by copying a file to the shared folder from each of the computers.
\n2. Copy the SMS Client database to the shared location on the network.
\nThe SMS Client database is displayed on the main screen of SMS Client<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/www.caw.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/smsmu2.png\" "\\"SMS")

\n1. SMS Client fails to start after the edit
\nThis could be the result of the edit of SMSClient.exe.config changing some text or the structure of the file.
