Change Insert Object Create from File Default Location

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Microsoft Employee

Hello.  We would like to change our setup so the Create from File in the Insert Object looks at a share drive instead of the Data folder in the default install path

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Dynamics\GP2010\Data\

The Insert Object widow is available from the Note window by doing the following.

Open a Note window, click the paper clip icon

From the OLE Container, select Edit->Insert New Object

From the Insert Object window, click the Create from File radio button.

The default path displayed in the text box is C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Dynamics\GP2010\Data\

When click browse we receive an error message that says "This operation has been cancelled due to restrictions in effect on this computer. Please contact your system administrator."

This is because we use a terminal server setup and have access to the C: drive blocked.

We would like to change this path to default to a shared drive.

I've looked around and can't figure out how to do this.  I've tried to edit the OLEpath in the Dex.ini but that did not work.

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks!
