Copying Profiles

You can copy a profile from one Estimate Review workstation to any number of other workstations. You must install Estimate Review on a computer before you can provide it with a copied profile.

Note: If you use Estimate Review or Compliance Utility in a network environment, the emsERS_Profile.mdb file may not be on the local computer as in the default path shown below. To find the location of the .mdb file in a network environment, in the Main window click Profiles and record the Profile path in the SystemPaths portion of Setup.

To copy and distribute profiles

  1. On the computer where the profile you want to copy is located, Quit Estimate Review.
  2. Using Windows Explorer, navigate to the folder where Estimate Review is installed.

The default path is C:\Program Files\Estimate Review

  1. Copy the file emsERS_Profile.mdb to a safe location.
  2. Make the copied file available to the computer(s) where you want to use it. You can send the file as an e-mail attachment, place it on an accessible network drive, or copy it to a floppy disk.
  3. On the computer(s) where you want to use the copied profile, open Estimate Review and on the Help menu, select Exit.
  4. Replace the existing emsERS_Profile.mdb file with the copy that you made available in step 4.
