We don't recommend copying the stand alone copy of the Common directory into your new network installation. Step 4 - 9 will describe what you can do to recover Control Which Forms Print, invoices, letters, and Share Form (SHRFRM). If you did not customize any of these settings you can ignore the rest of the steps.
- When you are able to open the program after the network installation, go to the File menu, point to Client File Maintenance, and click Restore.
- Click the Set Source Directory button, locate the backup folder you created previously, and click OK. Select and restore the files.
- After the files have finished restoring, go to your desktop.
- Open Windows File Explorer.
- Locate the Common folder you copied to the folder with your client data earlier in the Back up and clients files and program settings.
- Double click the folder to open it.
- Select each set of files and use Copy command. Do these individually to simply the process of copy/pasting. Note: an asterisk ( * ) represents a wildcard symbol and is used to represent any character or number. The dot is a period in between and it separates the filename from its extension. For example, EIN*.* represents ein.dat, ein.zipx, eindb.cdx, eindb.dbf, and EINDB.INI.
