UNC Drive Path Setting

Corporate Edition Only

CAPITAL will normally access database tables by referencing the default drive letter of the server drive where CAPITAL databases are stored. Specifying the UNC path, however, is more efficient and can result in a boost to system performance.

To specify the UNC path add this setting to either your CAPWIN.INI file in your Windows directory or to your CAPSYS.INI file found in your \CAPITAL directory. If the UNC path is specified in the CAPSYS.INI all running copies of CAPITAL will use this path. If the UNC path is specified in the configuration file CAPWIN.INI, this will override the path setting specified in CAPSYS.INI. The path setting may be specified in either or both files.

CAPWIN.INI files are local to specific computers or log in sessions.

[Environment]

ServerUNCPath=<Server name + drive letter>

For example:

ServerUNCPath=\\MyServer\C$

In this example CAPITAL will open tables at location \\MyServer\C$ in place of referencing the mapped drive letter C:\ of the server MyServer.

The C$ reference is a Windows default mapping reference to the C drive of the computer named 'MyServer'.

Ensure that any firewalls installed on your server do not block CAPITAL's access to the UNC path you specify.
