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:

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

From the Tools menu, select Map Network Drive. |

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

Click the plus next to the name below Microsoft Windows Network. |

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

Select the drive or the directory that is shared and contains the MB7 folder. |
Note: Do not select the MB7 folder. Select the shared directory that the MB7 folder resides in.
|

|
Select Reconnect at Logon and click Finish. |
|
10
|
Open Sage 100 Contractor. From the drop-down list, select the drive letter entered in step 3. |
