Windw 10 - Home

[Nancy Palmquist]

Richard,
I would say the computer acting as Server should at least be PRO to 
handle better security for networking.

The menu script problem might be because you did not setup a PFTMP 
folder where you have access to write.  Filepro will drop menu scripts 
to a .bat file before execution and must be able to write them down to 
do that.

The problem with the pathing would indicate the system does not know 
where to find filepro stuff.  I have seen systems with limited 
environment space, so it could not load the variables.  It used to 
happen on Server 2002 as I recall or something that vintage and we would 
add variables and then reset them to add filepro variables.   It is not 
reasonable on a Win10 machine to have that limitation but I don't know 
what he might have installed and it is a consideration.

Start at a command prompt and set variables one at a time and check if 
they are held.

I just upgraded my computer to Win10Pro and had to tweak a few things 
but printers worked, variables worked, filepro works. I used PCMover 
Professional and connected Win7Ultimate computer to Win10Pro computer - 
It analyzed my old computer and moved installed software, printers, 
etc.  It told me what it could not move and gave me options to leave 
things behind and such.  I was very impressed.  It took weeks in the 
past to setup a new workstation after one of these changes.  This one 
took 12 hours and most of my stuff was ready to go.  I have had to 
handle some things because of licensing but I did not lose any work time 
overall.

A small note if you are thinking of this kind of thing.

Nancy

They are on filePro 5.0.  and had no problems with the application for almost one year.  In December they started to have issues with filePro.  Menu scripts didn't work and some reports based on dares did not run properly and the Owner had problems printing reports to his local printer.
