Database Path, Non-standard

[This topic requires a professional, or good hobbyist, level of technical knowledge.]

If the Database path on the master specifies the c: drive, e.g.  c:\PhcyPro\lotsdb\ instead of the standard short path of PhcyPro\lotsdb\ then although both the above paths should be functionally identical if a C: drive is in use, it has been found that on some combinations of hardware and Windows version the following functions may not work (though they may appear to);

 

- Database Rebuild

- Database Compact

- Database Archive

- End of Month rollover

 

Solution

Change the Master unit's path to the short version, i.e. without the C: drive descriptor.
