How do I install or transfer ReserveRight to a different computer?
1. Backup the database on the original computer.
2. Install the ReserveRight program on the new computer using your program installation disks.
3. Start the ReserveRight program on the new computer.
4. Navigate to Main Menu, System Setup, General Operating Procedures, Backup / Restore Options. This step creates a default setup profile that then lets you restore the original computer's database to the new computer.
5. Navigate to Main Menu, Management Utilities, Restore Database from a Previous Backup, Restore Reservation Database. Insert disk 1 when you're instructed to.

How to setup ReserveRight to work with Multiple Databases
The ReserveRight program files are located in directory "\RVSLIB" whereas the default database is located in directory "\RSVLIB\FILES". The user may create additional database directories. All database directories, including the default, must be sub-directories of "\RSVLIB". Example: Suppose the user wants a separate database for their lodge. Since their campground database exists in the default "\RSVLIB\FILES" directory, the user needs to create a database directory for the lodge. The following instructions (for the Windows 98 operating system) demonstrate how to setup the system to handle this situation.
