The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Electronic Forms Designer, version 1.0, running with
Microsoft Mail for PC Networks, versions 3.0 and 3.2
SUMMARY
The licensing agreement for version 1.0 of Microsoft Electronic Forms
Designer precludes installing the Designer files in a shared location on a
network; however, the form run-time files can be shared with no per-user
fee required.
MORE INFORMATION
The network administrator can install the form run-time files for shared
use by following these steps:
- Follow the instructions in the "Developer's Guide" to run Setup. Choose
the Server setup option and complete Server Setup by following the
prompts.
- Make sure you have write access to the shared Windows directories and
that shared Windows or Mail users are not currently running any of the
following products:
- Microsoft Visual Basic version 2.0 for Windows
- Applications created using Visual Basic 2.0
- Version 3.0 or 3.2 of Microsoft Mail for PC Networks
- Version 1.0 of Microsoft Schedule+ for Windows
- Microsoft Word version 2.0 for Windows
- Microsoft Excel version 4.0 for Windows
It may be easier to simply require all shared Windows users to exit
Windows.
- In the Windows File Manager, run the SETUP.EXE program that was created
by Server Setup in the location you specified. This is the User Setup,
which will upgrade shared files in the shared Windows directories and
will also create entries in your MSMAIL.INI file.
- Copy the following entries from your MSMAIL.INI file into each user's
personal MSMAIL.INI file. Each entry is described in more detail in the
"Developer's Guide."

- If Microsoft Excel users do not share an XLSTART directory for add-ons,
copy MEFROUTE.XLA into each user's personal XLSTART directory. This will
install a Route command into Excel.
- If Microsoft Word users do not share NORMAL.DOT, run MEFRAUTO.DOC on
each user's machine to install a Route command into Word.
