Using the Access File Manager

You create and maintain the server access file using the access file manager utility or, if you're running under Windows, the Access tab of the AcuServer Control Panel (ACP). See Using AcuServer’s Graphical User Interface for Windows for an introduction to the ACP.

• To start the access file manager utility from the command line, use the command acuserve -access.
• To start the access file manager utility using the graphical interface, go to Start > Programs > Acucorp 8.x.x > Acuserver to open the AcuServer Control Panel.

The access file manager allows you to:

• Create an access file
• Add an access record
• Remove an access record
• Modify an access record
• Display an access record or records

If you are managing access records from the command line, note that when the access file manager displays a value inside a pair of square brackets ([ ]), that value is the default value for the field. To accept the default value, simply press Enter. In the following example, /etc/AcuAccess is the default value.

Enter the name of the Server Access File
Filename [/etc/AcuAccess]:
