Hi, have a look in your dex.ini file for the "Pathname=" text. This will tell you where the data currenly is for your other companies. You can also log into an existing company and go to set up >> system >> location translation...to view what locations are being used. The info here is stored in sy02100. If all of the pathnames listed here are not the same, you may have to recreate your pathnames table. Look on partnersource for help on this one.
The sy02100 table is the company location pathnames table and gets updated when a new company is added. The sy03600 table is the location master table. It gets updated when a new workstation is added whose pathname is different from those already existing in sy03600.
Are you usig UNC or drive letter?
Are you doing this from a workstation or the server? If you launch GP Utilities, what happens? Do you get a location translation window?
Been with GP since version 1 and Location Translations were the bane of my life back when BTrieve was on the go!!!...Usually it was trial and error (with plenty of back ups taken at every stage) that got translation errors sorted.
