Notes

• When you publish your data as a FoodWorks data source, it is automatically available to you and other users on the same computer.
• When working on a LAN where multiple users are accessing the same FoodWorks databases, it is recommended that you place the database you are publishing in the same folder as the databases that will use the new data source. Then, when you publish your database as a data source, the new data source is automatically available for other users on the LAN.
