Goodteith Software

Download these utilities if you are using Filemaker Server. Install on the SERVER computer only (NOT REC1).
Installation will put three utilities on your desktop.
1) Start Server Use this if you have just stopped the server software. Server automatically runs when you switch on the computer.
2) Stop Server Stop the server if you need to restore from a backup or upgrade the system.
3) Shutdown Server Use this utility last thing at night. You can click on this at night and you will automatically create a backup to the external hard drive, then shut down the server computer.

Installation is very simple. You will be asked for the Drive letter of your external hard drive. (eg…F)

You can find the file here.

If you are emailing me a rejected batch of claims it is important that you send these files as ATTACHMENTS. Don’t embed the files in the message or your emailing software will put in carriage returns and punctuation and generally mess things up.

If anyone wants to do a “dummy” run just email me a file from your dpduploads folder on REC2 and I will tell you if you’ve done it right

send to Al@goodteith.co.uk

I have completed the file we were working on at the training weekend. Download this file and you can import records from your “found set” for any layout you care to create. The file will install into your Dental Surgery Docs folder and is called Alistair. Rename this file to your own name and it will not be overwritten at update time.

Please feel free to call us if you have any questions.

You can dowload the file from our Downloads page.

We’ve put together a little script to help with the daily backup process if you’re backing up to another hard drive every night. It might require a little fiddling to get it to work, so give us a phone if you’re going to use it.

You have got to do them, alright? Alright.
