Okay, this is a biggie.

This is about Adagio Ledger and Payables. I get the same error with both modules. This is off a Win 98 machine running the network version which is house on an NT 4.0 server, SP 6.0A.

I have searched the forum for this error to no avail. The full error is:
Critical Error: [1207] invalid path in EZCOMFIL file.

The first thing I did was to check for the file. It is in the ..\asp directory. This file houses one thing, a path to the asp directory:
N:\PROGRAM FILES\ACCPAC\ASP

This leads me to believe that the issue us a path problem.

So I changed the path to reflect a different drive mapping to the ..\accpac directory and receive the following error:
Caution: signon failed

Now, what did I do to lead up to this error? Simple. Changed just about everything in the setup.

We are migrating to a new server, and on the new server we have changed the paths of our files. Our reseller of Adagio and AccPac told us just to copy over the AccPac files to the new location and install adagio on the server and reinstall the workstation versions on the workstations.

This reflects the first path up above, the n:\program files\accpac\..

Where n: = \\017400\d

What he neglected to tell us was that AccPac needs to be on the root of the drive, so I mapped a new drive. This resulted in r:, which is equivalent to \\017400\d\program files\accpac.

This finally got AccPac to run. But now we have run into the error with Adagio.

Any thoughts?

Hi Roy,

As you have found, there are 2 files that Adagio creates in the data directory that control pathing. EZCOMFIL.ld4 contains the path to the EZTASKS.LD4 file which controls file locking, among other things. EZCURFIL.LD4 contains the path to the currency files MC*.ld4.

Typically, Accpac Plus is installed on the root of a drive, whether on a local drive or a network drive. That would mean that the text within both the EZCOMFIL and EZCURFIL files would be X:\asp, where X is the drive. Adagio also installs EZTASKS and currency files to the X:\softrak\system directory, which means that if you are running Adagio only, without Accpac Plus, you can put the above path into EZCOMFIL and EZCURFIL. Of course, you would have to edit the currency codes to match your company's configuration.

From your message, it sounds like you put N:\Program files\accpac\asp into EZCOMFIL and EZCURFIL. This should be acceptable to allow Adagio to run with getting the 1207 error, but if not, please repost here that this is what you ran into (so we can do some testing).

Also from your message, you mentioned that N is a substituted drive. This makes things a little trickier as the possibility exists that workstations can see the data using different drive letters. IE one station would see the data as D drive, and another as N drive. Since you can't enter both drive letters in EZCOMFIL, there is a conflict that can't be avoided. Sometimes this can be worked around by removing the drive letter and colon, leaving \program files\accpac\asp as the path in EZCOMFIL and EZCURFIL.

The problem may be related to the space character contained in 'program files'. Something else to try is have the text in the EZCOMFIL and EZCURFIL files be 'R:\asp', since R is equal to n:\Program files\accpac. All computers must see the data drive as R: for this to work.

The login is controlled by the file EZUSRFIL.ld4, which also usually resides in the ...\asp directory. If you want to recreate this file (ie delete all users and refresh the info), you can rename it, and when you open an Adagio module, use SYS for both the user name and password, and that should get you in as the System Admin login.

Sorry for being verbose, but hopefully this gives you a few ideas to try.

Hey,

Thanks for the reply. I always like more information than less, so feel free to be as verbose as you are able.

I found both files and altered them to read r:\asp. This is not a problem because I can control the workstation drive mappings to insure R:\ is pointed to:
\\017400\d\program files\accpac\
of which
..\asp is a subdirectory.

I now get the following error:
Caution: signon failed

I even tried to go into a new data directory. This time it asked me for the location of the currency files and another type of file I cannot remember, and it already had r:\asp as the default choice. That attempt also failed with:
Caution: signon failed

Both modules abend in this manner.
Any thoughts?

Hi Roy

As per the last response:

"The login is controlled by the file EZUSRFIL.ld4, which also usually resides in the ...\asp directory. If you want to recreate this file (ie this will delete all users and refresh the info), you can rename it, and when you open an Adagio module, use SYS for both the user name and password, and that should get you in as the System Admin login."

To clarify, either something has happened to the ezusrfil.ld4 file, or you have mistyped the username and/or password to get into Adagio. In any case, rename the file. Note that if you use any Softline (AO) for windows products (ie ContactMaster for Windows for ACCPAC Plus), then you will lose all usernames and passwords for that product's log on as well and they will have to be re-entered after you log on as SYS-SYS after renaming the file.
