Peachtree Accounting Software Technical Help

I have received an Error 35, when I was:

a. Opening new company setup

Answer:

From the workstation getting the error, you will need to disconnect and remap the network drive.

1

Select Start and Run and type in PAW*.INI and press enter.

2

Look for the [Lib] section, look for the line that reads:

DATAPATH=

3

After the DATAPATH= will be the path were your data is located. Write down this information.

4

Select Tools from the Explorer menu and choose Disconnect. Disconnect the drive where your

data is located. An example, if your DATAPATH=P:\PEACHW, then disconnect the P drive.

5

Now we will remap the drive. From Tools select Map Network Drive. Remap the drive that

contains your Peachtree company data files. Using our example above we will select drive P as

the drive letter and in the Shared Directories locate the Peachw directory.

Note:

The default data path for:

Peachtree Release 2003 - C:\Peachw

Peachtree Release 2004 and 2005 - C:\Program Files\Peachtree\Company

Peachtree Release 2006 - C:\Program Files\Sage Software\Peachtree\Company

Windows NT workstations

There are a number of things that can cause the File System Error 35 which centers around RIGHTS

and/or PERMISSIONS.

The network administrator will need to make these changes.

1

Using My Computer or Explorer, highlight the Peachw folder on the server.

Note:

Depending on your release of Peachtree your Peachw folder may be different. The default
path for:

Peachtree Release 2003 - C:\Peachw
