I need to know how to network ebase between my host computer and a new computer. Could you share with me the steps I need to take?

You can't usually copy a shortcut from one computer to another, because it will become confused. Best to start over with a new one. So delete the shortcut on the desktop (the one with the little arrow).You need to go to the actual data files, which may be in C:\Program Files\ebase\ or something like that. If you can't find them, use the Find utility on the Start menu to find out where they are located. When you're in the ebase directory, you should see the entire group of program files (ebase, names, actions, payments, etc.). When you've found the files, continue with the previous instructions to set the opening program and to create a new shortcut on the desktop. By right clicking the shortcut name, you can rename it to remove the "shortcut to" part.
