NOTE: the following refers to AyaNova version 3 - not AyaNova 4
NOTE: if Vista’s UAC (user access control) is turned on, each Vista user ends up using their own “virutal” copy of the AyaNova database if AyaNova is installed in the default stand-alone installation (where AyaNova is installed to the C:\Program Files\Ground Zero Tech-Works Inc\AyaNova 3 folder
For example:
-
let’s say that a company has one Vista computer that is shared amoung two people - Bob and Allen.
-
Bob has his own Vista login username and so does Allen
-
Bob has logged into the Vista computer and installed AyaNova in the default stand-alone installation to C:\Program Files\Ground Zero Tech-Works Inc\AyaNova 3 folder (AYANOVA.FDB database is also installed to this directory).
-
When Bob runs the stand-alone AyaNova program, Vista actually creates a “virtual” copy of the AyaNova database from the C:\Program Files\Ground Zero Tech-Works Inc\AyaNova 3 folderinto Computer/Users/Bob/appdata/local/virtualstore/program files/ground zero tech-works inc/ayanova3
-
Now if Bob logs off the Vista computer, and Allen logs in and runs the stand-alone AyaNova program, Vista now actually creates a “virtual” copy of the AyaNova database from the C:\Program Files\Ground Zero Tech-Works Inc\AyaNova 3 folderinto Computer/Users/Allen/appdata/local/virtualstore/program files/ground zero tech-works inc/ayanova3
The result that both users have their own “virtual” copy of the database - and are not entering data into the same database.
This does not occur if Vista users are accessing a networked AyaNova database, or an AyaNova database file that is not located in the Program Files folders
