ReportWhen GP and any associated 3rd party applications are installed, a file is created called Dynamics.set, aka the Launch File. The Launch File contains instructions as to which products to initiate when starting GP and where the applications, forms, and reports dictionaries are stored.
Should you need to edit this file, for instance, to change the location of the reports dictionary to a shared directory, go
Administration>System>Edit Launch File

From this window you can select the Launch File to be edited, the relevant Product (GP, Project Accounting, Fixed Assets, etc), and modify the path to the respective dictionaries. Click OK to save changes.
The Launch File can also be edited using a text editor such as Notepad by navigating to the Dynamics.set file on the workstation, making changes directly in the file, and saving those changes. When doing so, it's best practice to save a copy of the file prior to making changes in case you need to revert back to the original file settings.
