Mapping a network drive to access a company

You may have to map to a network drive to access a Sage 100 Contractor company if it is not located on a drive on your local computer. Let’s suppose that the company has been moved to network drive Z: Now to access the company data, you have to map to drive Z.

To map a network drive:

  1. From the computer that needs a drive mapped, right-click the Microsoft Windows Start button, and then choose Explore.

  2. From the Tools menu, select Map Network Drive.

  3. In Drive field, accept the default drive letter or press the down arrow to assign another drive letter.

  4. Click [Browse], and then:

    1. Click the plus sign next to the server to display the shared directories.

    2. Select shared folder that contains the company data that you want to map.

    3. Click [OK].

  5. Select Reconnect at Logon, and then click [Finish[.

  6. Open Sage 100 Contractor. From the drop-down list, select the drive letter entered in step 3.

  7. Select the company file in the main window.

  8. Click [OK].

Note:  

  • If you are still unable to map a network drive after following these procedures, please contact your system administrator, or a local IT Professional.
