The Clubhouse Database has been designed to operate in
a typical clubhouse environment.
The Clubhouse Database requires an IBM compatible PC running the Microsoft
Windows operating system (Windows 2000 or newer, excluding Home versions)
with a properly configured printer. A high speed internet connection is
required (DSL or Cable), a full featured version of Microsoft Access 2000
or newer must be installed and 1 GB of free hard drive space is recommended.
Multiple user installations or distributed backup additionally require a
minimum of two PC's with file sharing enabled on a local area network (LAN).
The second and subsequent computers must also have Microsoft Access installed,
however a free runtime version of Access is available which can be used on
these machines. A hard wired network is recommended over a wireless network
because of it's significantly higher speed.
Remote access is required to one of your computers. "LogMeIn Pro" is strongly
recommended for it's stability, functionality, economy and security. An account
for this service can be established for you by Appilistic at no extra charge.
Administrative rights are required for each computer during installation so
that proper user permissions can be set, and if necessary, the runtime version
of Microsoft Access can be installed.
A true server is nice, but not required.
SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS:
Standard installation of The Clubhouse Database includes encoding of the main
data file and all "front end" or user interface modules. This helps to protect
the data from unauthorized snooping. A higher standard of encryption is
available when all computers accessing the database utilize Microsoft Access
2007 or newer.
