STARS has a user-friendly re-linking program that will automatically detect if either of STARS data file or dictionary file has been moved and assist the user in rethinking to their data.

 

You will find an example of a typical STARS network environment on the following support page.

 

It is recommended that the dictionary data file remains local to STARS's front-end graphical user interface. Networking the dictionary file may cause the program to slow when a spell checking operations is requested.

 

When loading STARS automatically reconnects to its data, where this data has been moved or connection has been lost STARS will display a warning notice explaining what will happen next.
