ole notes attachment button

Posted on by 525

Hi folks

where is the ole notes attachment button these days?

the help files talk about it but i cant find a picture of it.

 

I know once there is an attachment there is a paper clip.  But how do i add my excel / word doc?

 

boy i hope this is not a dumb question.

 

thanks!

    I dont have the ole button next to the attach / delete buttons so I am going to go the route of the dex.ini.

    Several versions ago of GP you could set the path for the notes files from within GP.  I cant find that on the menu's.  Can you still do that?

    If I recall correctly the OLE notes button is only available on record notes and not window notes; the OLE button shows to the left of the Attach and Delete buttons.

    Hi,

    If the OLEPath setting in the Dex.ini configuration file is correctly defined, the paper clip icon will be available to allow the addition of OLE attachments to the note.  If the paper clip does not appear, please check the following:

    •The OLEPath Dex.ini setting points to a shared folder for ALL workstations, you can use a shared drive letter (eg: G:\Dynamics\Notes\) or a UNC pathname (eg: \\Server\Dynamics\Notes\).

    •The OLEPath Dex.ini settings ends with a backslash.

    •The OLEPath Dex.ini setting points to a folder which exists and has read/write/create access to it and all sub folders.

    •The folder pointed to by the OLEPath Dex.ini setting contains a folder for each company using the Intercompany ID (SQL Database name) as the folder name.

    •Each company folder contains a folder called OLENotes.

    Thanks
