Dispenser Updates (Files located at www.medeyedbs.com/user/dispenser)
All these files are the property of Scott Zeigen, MD and Medical Databases and may only be downloaded by authorized users. All downloads from the directory are recorded using the IP address used to log-in and violators may be prosecuted. All files are password protected. If you are a current user you will be given the current unlock code to unzip the files.

Updating is basically very easy. Do the following..

1- All workstations must quit The Dispenser! Not just log-off but quit. The computers CAN remain on!

2- If running FileMaker Pro Server it must stopped and then quit (In Mac OS9 you can simply quit). In order to do the update, you must have regular FileMaker Pro 5.5 on the host or server machine with ALL correct plug-ins!

3- BACKUP THE SOFTWARE! Nothing is worse then screwing up during the update and you have nothing to fall back onto!

4- Place the "new" file (extracted from the archive you downloaded and had the password to extract it) such as "Patients new.fp5" into the Dispenser folder. This folder is either in the root of the computer (C:\ or Macintosh HD), or inside the FileMaker Pro Server folder.

NOTE: Depending on how your computer is setup, you may not see the .fp5 extension. We recommend that you consult your operating system manual or Help system and make it so you can.

5- Double click on the new file. Enter the HIGHEST level database password you were given. This is NOT your logon password. The password ends in "4"!!!!!

6- Follow the on-screen instructions carefully. The software manual does review how to update your files. When completed you need to rename the updated file, such as...

 Rename "Patients.fp5" to "Patients old.fp5"
 Rename "Patients new.fp5" to "Patients.fp5"
 (as mentioned above you may not see the .fp5 extension).

Once all files are updated in the same fashion you can restart your usual host /server operations.
