Material List Pro is designed to be used in a network environment in order to leverage the shared data from the database.

The following files should be located on your network:

Database File(s) – (tables for parts, vendors, manufacturer-to-vendor map, projects, etc.)

Global Configuration File (Config.xls)

Templates for the purchase order documents

The paths may look something like this:

\\your-server\autocad_stuff\Material_List_Pro\Database

\\your-server\autocad_stuff\Material_List_Pro\GlobalConfiguration

\\your-server\autocad_stuff\Material_List_Pro\PoTemplates

It is preferred that the path be a fully qualified path and that mapping to a drive letter is not used. If drive letter mapping is used, it will be necessary for the drive letter to be mapped to the same value for all users.
