If
you are re-mapping network drives then be aware that CAPITAL cannot reside in a root directory. The following
re-map command would cause problems:Network Installation Issues
Installing accounting software can be different from installing other types of software on a network. Users often go wrong when installing accounting software by limiting the sub-directories CAPITAL may access, not specifying correct path information so that data files can be located, and restricting access rights to database and temporary files so that they can not be properly updated or deleted.
If possible, give your workstation complete access to the drive that CAPITAL is located on (especially if you are not a network expert) as this will reduce the risk of you doing something wrong. You must also give CAPITAL complete file access to it's directory and all directories below it.
Drive Mapping
To install CAPITAL on a network you must map a server path to a drive letter. For example, you could share the directory \My Programs\CAPITAL\ across your network but this path should be mapped to a drive letter between C-Z. Use Windows Explorer to do this. See Tools|Map Network Drive found on the Explorer main menu.
If
you are re-mapping network drives then be aware that CAPITAL cannot reside in a root directory. The following
re-map command would cause problems:
NET USE N:\\HOST\ACCOUNTS
if the shared path to the facility "ACCOUNTS" was C:\CAPITAL. If you don't wish to allow access to an entire drive, place the CAPITAL sub-directory inside another sub-directory first.
