Hello, Ron

I'm not too sure if this will resolve your problem or not, but I'm going to take a stab at it.

Win2000 is very different than Win95. When performing such an extensive upgrade, rule of thumb normally dictates that you re-install all local programs afterwards - or at least ensure of their compatibility before upgrading!

If this is the only change in your existing network, then I would suggest that you re-do the workstation setup procedure on this station to re-establish original files and their locations.

To do this, I would suggest that you first grant full administrator rights to the actual User of the W2K station (the person who will be using QRWIN on this PC) then log in as this User to perform the following procedure for the QRWIN workstation setup:

1. Using Explorer, go to the location on the Server where QRWIN is installed.
2. Open the QRW\WKCSETUP folder.
3. Double click on the SETUP.EXE file on the right to start the workstation install.
4. Follow the prompts to complete the install, paying close attention to any prompts about the 'ACCPAC' drive. (The 'ACCPAC' drive is referring to the drive (on the server) where the ACCPAC programs are installed. This should be the same drive where the QRASP folder resides.)

The QRASP folder is where QRWIN installs it's tables to during the main program installation. During the workstation setup, it is important that the proper path is given, however, if nothing else has changed, I suspect that the file containing the path information needs to be re-established to work with W2K.

Also ensure that you (the User of the W2K PC) has full access to the drive where the QRASP folder is located. This folder should not be Read Only - and it must be fully shared.

Regards

Oops - forgot something.

That message is also indicative of the data and/or program file location changing. This could mean that something else changed as well as the upg to W2K.

In this case, you may have to re-establish the new pathing.

The error, "The file 'x:\QRASP\QRTABLES.INI' could not be found." is described in the QRW 62B Users Guide in Appendix A. (Although you should ignore any reference to the ACCPAC install disk ? this is no longer valid reference, as the past couple of releases of QRW has everything you require on the CD.)

If the QR tables have been installed, this error message means that the CRW.INI file has not been updated with the correct path to the QRASP. There are two ways to correct this:

1. CREATE A NEW CUSTOM REPORT
 In QRW, create a new custom report. On the 'Select program for report' screen, choose the 'Edit Company' button.
 In the section 'ACCPAC Data?, choose the ?New? button.
 Click the ?Browse? button
 Find the Data Drive and directory where the ACCPAC Plus data resides that you want to use QRWIN with.
 Click on one of the xxGLOB.dat files (AR for example) & click OK.
 Click OK if all the information displayed in the next couple of screens is correct, then from the Select Program for Report window, select the AR version that is installed.
 Select a table from the list (say, Customer Information), then click OK.
 Insert a couple of fields on your report, then save the report as ?Test.rpt? or something.
 This will update the ACCPACPath= line under [ACCPAC.DLLInfo] section of the CRW.INI file. The CRW.INI file is located in the Windows directory.

2. EDIT THE CRW.INI FILE
 Exit QRWIN.
 Using MS Explorer, go to your C:\Windows directory.
 Click on the crw.ini file to open it.
 Find the section that is entitled [ACCPAC.DLLInfo]
 Scroll down until you find the line ?ACCPACPath=?.
 You must ensure that this line contains the drive letter where your ACCPAC programs and \QRASP directory are located. If this is not the case, edit the line to display the correct drive letter, and save your changes.
 You can now exit Explorer and go back in to QRWIN and try again to print your reports.
