MemberTies Readme File - Please Read
======================================================================
  This file contains important information that either was not available
  when the online help file was created, or that may be needed during
  the setup or initial logon process.

  Refer to MemberTies online help for complete program documentation.
  Online help may be accessed by pressing the F1 key on any window.


=======================================================================
Logging On for the first time
=======================================================================
  The first time you start MemberTies, a default User Name and 
  Password are created for you.  The default User Name is 'default',
  and the default password is 'password'. 
  
  In addition, MemberTies attempts to create a default database 
  profile for you. The database profile tells MemberTies where your 
  database is located. If you chose not to install the database, 
  or if you had an existing database already installed, the profile 
  may not have been created for you. If there are no databases 
  available in the Database dropdown to select from, choose the 
  "(Specify New...)" option and enter the location of your database 
  file (typically c:\program files\memberties\data\yourdatabase.db).

  After you log in with the default User Name/Password, you will be 
  prompted to create a real User Name and Password for future logins.

  Refer to Online Help for more information about passwords.
  
=======================================================================
The Default Database File - mtdfdb##.db
=======================================================================
  MemberTies is distributed with a database file named 'mtdfdb##.db'
  (where '##' is the version number of the software). The installation 
  program attempts to make an initial copy of this file called 'mtie.db' 
  to serve as your working database. This also is intended to ensure 
  that your working database cannot be deleted by the uninstall process
  (since the uninstall will look for the unused 'mtdfdb##.db' file).
  
  On startup, MemberTies will create a default database profile for 
  the 'mtie.db' file in its Data directory. If that file is not found, 
  you may be prompted to specify the target database profile.
  
  If the 'mtdfdb##.db' file could not be copied during the installation 
  process because an file already exists in the Data directory, the 
  'mtdfdb##.db' file will be left in the Data directory as usual, 
  and MemberTies will attempt to use the existing database file
  on startup. If you would rather make a new copy of the default 
  database, you should do so before starting MemberTies.
  
  
=======================================================================
Setting the Master User ID
=======================================================================
  MemberTies stores a master user name called 'administrator' 
  with a password of 'password' that has the authority, among 
  other things, to unlock user names that have been locked due to 
  a failure to enter the correct password after three tries.

  This id always exists in the database, and cannot be locked.
  To protect this ID from being misused, you should log on as 
  'administrator' and change the default password to something
  other than 'password'. Be sure to store this information
  somewhere safe!
