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:

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

Select the drive or the directory that is shared and contains the MB7 folder. |

Select Reconnect at Logon and click Finish. |
|

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