Title: shortcut properties of EVO login,
Post by Laura Oliver on 02/22/17 at 13:15:12

It seems several of my workstations have different EVO shortcut properties. I believe they have different targets, yet they all work/

C:\ISTS\evoerp.exe C:\ISTS.
C:\ISTS\tp7runtime.exe C:\ISTS.
C:\ISTS\evoerp.exe
M:\EvoERP.exe

All of the above successfully access EVO on at least one of our machines.How is this possible?

PROBLEM:
I ask because I have an XP workstation that only had one user but I want to add another user. DBA icon and login was fine, but I cant get the EVO login to work.
I keep getting a long list of files that didnt copy correctly. I have tried all the above. What is crazy is that the original user on this machine accesses EVO fine.

I have copied the icons from other machines, I have changed the paths. I am dumbfounded.
Any and all help appreciate.

Thanks
Laura

For that XP workstation is the Drive that the DBAMFG folder is on or the folder itself mapped? If it isn't then try mapping the drive or the folder then do the Workstation install from the mapped drive. This is for the XP station only.

Both? I have two EVO icons on the first identity desktop. The first EVO icon is pointed to M:\EvoERP.exe , the 2nd EVO icon is pointed to C:\ISTS\evoerp.exe and there is a DBA icon pointed to M;.
If i switch to the new (problem) identity I have a DBA icon successfully pointed to M , but sadly I can't get this new identity to access EVO. I have deleted and recreated identity/users to no avail.

Is it possible that EVO could be mapped successfully on one identity, but no on the other identity, ... even if both id/users are on the same EP Machine?

Bingo!

I had to log in the administrator id and go into the C:Drive and give all rights and privledges to the folder ISTS on C:

The EVO Icon should always point to the ISTS folder on that workstation. And that user should have full permissions to the ISTS folder. The reason for that is there is a lot personal settings that are saved to the ISTS folder like email settings, saved settings for menus and such. Settings you set in US-A. All are saved to that users ISTS folder.

ewww... hmmmm Thanks for the heads up!!!!!

We have several workstations that do not point to the ISTS folder on the workstation. They point to the DBAMFG folder on M:
I guess it is not a problem right now because we don't have internet on workstations or have personal settings saved. (unless that is the cause of all the error/stall problems we have in EVO ), However if were were to get internet on our workstations I will make sure the EVO Icons all point to its own respective workstation.

Note for future: All EVO icons should point to the ISTS folder on it's respective workstation. Personal settings in EVO problems/issues/ do not work if the icon is not pointed toward the ISTS folder on the workstation.

Thanks again,
Laura

If the EVO ICON is pointing directly to the evoerp.exe in the DBAMFG folder you still can change and save settings, But what may happen is when they change and save settings those changes might apply to everyone. So in this case its best to have it the way the programmers intended it to be. Which is to have the ICON on the Desktop pointing to the ISTS folder. I hope all this helps.
