Configure multiple databases on the same PC

It is possible to run HandicapMaster installed once, but operating with multiple databases.

Add an additional database to HandicapMaster

Introduced from version 7 upwards is a facility to allow users to manage additional HandicapMaster Databases.
If you configure additional databases then when you start HandicapMaster a list of the available databases will be displayed. You may then choose the appropriate database either by clicking on one to highlight it and then click OK or by double clicking on one of the databases listed. Handicapmaster will then continue using the selected database.
When you install HandicapMaster you are supplied with a single database. If you would like to operate HandicapMaster with different Database files, proceed as follows:
  1. Start HandicapMaster and select FILE menu, then OPTIONS.
  2. Select the DATABASE tab, then click the CONFIGURE button.
    The 'HandicapMaster Configuration' window will display a list of configured databases. You may now add a NEW database, change the SETTINGS of an existing database, or REMOVE a database.
  3. To create a new HandicapMaster Database, select NEW. This will start the Database Wizard.
  4. Choose your Database Type ('Cloud or SQL server' or 'Single Computer')
  5. Create the database (New database, Copy Existing Database or Locate existing database)
If you select NEW then a blank database will be created. If you wish to copy an existing database, select COPY and a new database with a copy of all the data in the selected database will be created.
Once you have made this choice the Database Wizard will guide you through the remaining steps.
If you require help at any stage either click on the HELP button or press the F1 key.
