Running OfficeTalk for the First Time

Start up OfficeTalk by double clicking the left mouse button on the OfficeTalk icon in the OfficeTalk program group which has just been created. Initially, a database will not exist, so a New Workgroup dialog box will appear, prompting you to either create a new workgroup database or import an existing one.

When you press OK, OfficeTalk will then prompt you for your own details by displaying a User dialog box. Enter your first name, your last name and a login name and, for now, press OK. You can come back and add further personal details later on.

When you press OK, OfficeTalk will create the database and display the Supervisor Mode. You are now ready to start using OfficeTalk.

The next stage is to setup OfficeTalk on every user's workstation. Follow the steps in the section, Network Setup.. After that, you may want to add further users.

Once a database has been setup and users have been defined, users will be able to use their workstations to log onto OfficeTalk.
