Moving DirectDebitsLink to a new machine or folder
Overview
This guide describes how to move DirectDebitsLink to a new Location (machine or folder).
From a Technical perspective the DirectDebitsLink solution is a collection of Excel Workbooks with Macros and databases. The actual application is Microsoft Excel
So when moving to a new location its similar to moving a folder of workbooks. So long as you have Excel installed there is no software to install
All you need to do is move the DirectDebitsLink Folder and its contents to the new location.
Once moved you need to make sure that all users have full read right access to the DirectDebitsLink folder and the C:\temp folder
Upon starting for the first time there is a one time new user setup wizard that will create short cuts and create trusted locations so that it will run
Once moved and tested in the new location if no longer required on the old location you can delete that copy
