Sid,
Just a thought, why not override the folder "Program
Files (x86)" to "Program Files" when installing AB on your W7 laptop. This is
what I did for simplicity of transferring the entire AB folder and sub-folders
from desktop to laptop and vice versa. My biggest problem switching from XP Pro
to W7 was with disappearing files ("compatibility files") and so I
switched-off W7's UAC feature and life has been sweet since!
Cheers,
Gordon Sutherland

I missed that as I was going thru
preferences. If I use the pick button, AB is not getting the entire
path for Include and it can't be edited manually and make it stick.
The file path appears to be correct with "pick" but doesn't save and is
back to the default after an AB reboot. I must still be overlooking
something.
I can do a complete redo of the AB installation on the
W7 laptop but I've got a ton of formulas and charts that have to be copied
from my XP desktop. In the past for XP machine to XP machine a
complete copy and over write has worked but with the path change from
Program Files to Program Files (x86) that is not working for
me.
Anyone have a procedure for this that
works?
TIA
Sid

install
-
- Got a new W7 laptop, installed AB 5.20. Then I
tried to copy my current desktop over that AB on the
laptop. Probably a dumb move...
-
- AB couldn't find the data files because the data has
a new address in the Program Files (x86) area. I went to
preferences and changed the address to the new location.
-
- Now AB can't find the formulas, for the same reason I
assume. I can't find any place to enter the new default location
for the formula files.
-
- Anyone have a hint on how to change the
formulas location address on that W7 laptop?
-
- Thanks,
- Sid
