PC Access for Windows Reference Guide

for PC Access for Windows 4.30.158

Shared Path for Data Files

The Shared Path for Data files field controls where PC Access looks for the following files:

· PCAWIN.AGT, the file that stores your Agent Setup;

· PCAWIN.PBK, the file that stores your Phone Book Setup;

· SHARED.INI, the file that stores settings common to all network version copies of PC Access on your network;

· ACCESS.CTL, the file that controls file-locking for PCAWIN.AGT and PCAWIN.PBK.

Guidelines for using this field:

· If you are not running PC Access on a networked computer, you should leave this field containing its default value of "." which stands for the PC Access current directory.

· If you are not running PC Access on a networked computer, you may enter the name of a directory where your copy of PC Access will look for the above files. When you first install a workstation copy of a network version of PC Access, the Shared Path will be the directory on your network server where your system administrator installed PC Access.

· You may also edit this field manually to cause two or more non-network versions of PC Access running on a network to share a single set of the above files.

Setup item classification:

· Parent window: Defaults Setup

· Setup item type: Advanced

· Who specifies: You
