Problem is that we have servers with what are called "virtual" drives. Softrak is installed on \\accounts\softrak. All modules such as Ledger, A/P, A/R, M/C etc are installed in their appropriate folders after softrak in the path mentioned above.
When trying to set up workstations, I receive a path the error message saying the path \\accounts\softrak\ does not have a drive letter and says to try again using a drive letter. Is there a way to get around this?
Thanks,
Carl

Why can't you assign a drive letter to \\accounts\softrak?

Hello:

Further to Doug's message, you must use a drive letter when referring to the location of the Adagio applications. And the drive letter must be consistent across all workstations.

How did you install the software without a drive letter? Did you install at the server or at a workstation to the server?

You should have:
-Created a sharename on the \\Accounts server (ie. \\Accounts\Acctg)
-Gone to a workstation
-Mapped a drive letter to \\Accounts\Acctg (ie. M: drive)
-Installed Adagio to the M: drive
-Gone to the other workstations
-Mapped the same drive letter and run Workstation set-up

On the mapped drive you would see M:\Softrak\Ledger, M:\Softrak\APWIN and so on.
