I just installed a four user license on our four office computers. It seems they are all installed as "Administrator".

I added the four users to the User database for the appropriate Address Book, but when I enter new contacts on one computer, I cannot see these contact on another computer - although the other computers are able to open the same Address Book.

There is no "Login" screen. The Maximizer on all four computers is being started as Administrator.

How can I get each user to Log In using their own User ID, and have the contact info shared accross the network? What am I missing?

Hi there, if you want to force users to provide a username/password you need to enable security.

Start the Maximizer Administrator, open and log into the address book in question, click File>>Preferences then put a tick in the box that says 'Enable Security'.

As for users not seeing each others data, this is down to one of two things, either the users are all logging into different address books (remember that on Max Entrepreneur you have to use File>>Connect Address book to connect up shared address books) or the users are not using the search function.

Maximizer is a database product and relies on users to refresh the lists they work on rather than refreshing them itself every few seconds.

If all the users are logged into the same address book and the records in question are public or in a security group that they are all part of then you will probably find that if a users clicks Search>>Company and types in the name of a company another user has added a note to they will retrieve that company and see the note.
