Check Server Status

You can check the connection to the server at any time.  Simply go to Help - System Info  on the menu of Auto Shop Writer 9. Near the bottom of the display you will see Server Type.  This tells you the actual connection that workstation is currently using.  If ADS is installed, you want to see You are connected to the Advantage Client Server.

If the message says you are using LOCAL SERVER, then your connection is not working properly ( if ADS is installed ).
