user accounts

[Clarendon Fire Department]

New Dell computer with WindowsXP Professional.

We would like to have to 2 user accounts with the
capability to use two programs (Quick Trip Ambulance
Reporting and Firehouse Software Reporting).

Is it possible to have one EMT account using the Quick
Trip program and another, Firefighter account using the
Firehouse program?

Each of the user acounts will have to be able to enter
their program and and make entries/updates.

We have tried setting up user accounts with limited
access, but have been unable to access the two programs.

We also tried to place the respective progran files in
shared documents folder on the admin acount, but still
have access problems with them in the user accounts.

On our older computer - someone kept screwing around with
folders and messed up the programs. That is why we're
interested in setting up some security with admin access
and user account access.

Hi,

This might be tricky. In order to use the software, it may have to be
installed under both user accounts. As they are limited accounts, you should
right-click the setup file and use "run as", then enter the adming username
and password. This will likely have to be done under each user account, but
it can be installed to the same program folder each time.
