General Notes #1

 

Situation:    When starting a COUTS Industries Application, an error message similar to this is displayed:

 

Cause:       Within the shortcut on the desktop pathing using network definition arguments are not configured properly.

Solution:   

  1. On the Target command line, be sure the line is formatted as:
    \\<server_name>\<drive>\directory>\<application_name>.exe
    Where:
    \\<server_name> is the server where the COUTS Industries Application is installed;
    \<drive> is the network drive designation (usually F) NOTE: do not use a colon (:) when defining the drive, ALPHA character only);
    \<directory> is the network directory containing the COUTS Industries application; and
    <application_name>.exe is the name of the COUTS Industries Application

  2. In the Start in box, enter the information as shown to the right, using the same description as above except do not enter the <application_name>.exe.

  3. The 1st argument, if used, is entered in the Target box and is separated from the command line in step 1 above with a space.

SPECIAL NOTE: The Command for the Employee Maintenance portion of the Aloha 2 QuickBooks program. the second icon on the desktop, must contain EMP in the 1st argument position.
