New Installation

1. Install according to standard instructions from F&CHD

2. Copy all contents of the c:\program files\family history\inventorymanager\ directory to a network directory (UNC or mapped drive). For example: \\server\im$ or i:\

3. Modify the following registry settings (using \\server\im$): HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\LDS Church\FHCIM\Back Path = \\server\im$
   HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\LDS Church\FHCIM\FHCIMBackup.exe = \\server\im$
   HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\LDS Church\FHCIM\Front Path = \\server\im$

4. Update the IM desktop shortcut created during installation. The target and startup directory need to point to the new network location. For example target = c:\program...\msaccess.exe...\\server\im$\FHCIMFront.mde and startup directory = \\server\im$

Upgrade Installation

1. Make a copy of your FHCIMFront.mde and FHCIMBack.mde and place it in a temporary directory

2. Uninstall previous versions of IM

3. Follow steps 1-4 found in the previous section (new install)

4. Move FHCIMFront.mde and FHCIMBack.mde created in step 1 to your new network directory (replace existing files) Note: F&CHD has reported simultaneous read-only activities in IM over a network will work but modify activities have the potential to corrupt your IM data.
