Understanding the ChurchBooks3 data set
ChurchBooks3 is designed to be a stand-alone program. This means the program is normally loaded onto one computer and your data file sits outside your ChurchBooks3 program on your local computer. That having been said, there are many other options. Please be aware that the methods listed below because of the prioritized nature of the program can only be deployed with the assistance of our tech support staff. Any attempt to move or alter any part of the ChurchBooks3 program will surely result in error not supported by our team without additional cost, except the Single-user file swap.
(1) Single User File Swap
If the program is used by a single user, you can swap out your data file from one computer to the next. For instance, you can load the program on both your church computer and your home computer, this allows you to update ether computer by simply swapping out the data using a USB or Cloud drive. The key to this method is not to over-write previous updates, this is why we call it “single-user file swap”. We do not recommend or support the outcome of this method for the reason stated above but do acknowledge many of our customers do use this method with success if updates are managed, tracked, and archived properly. This option is free, just contact us for additional information.
