Setting up a workstation to recognize Sage 300 Construction and Real Estate accounting data folders

When you select a data folder that contains your company's Job Cost information, you may not have access to your accounting department's data folders if you do not have a Sage 300 Construction and Real Estate accounting application installed on your workstation.

If you cannot find a data folder that your accounting department uses, you can set up your workstation to recognize accounting data folders without installing a Sage 300 Construction and Real Estate accounting product on your computer.

To set up your workstation:

  1. Click [Start] on the taskbar.
  2. From the menu, select Run.
  3. In the Open box, type T:\Timberline Office\9.5\Accounting\WinInst\Install.exe (T:\Timberline Office\9.5\Accounting represents the drive and folder into which you installed Sage 300 Construction and Real Estate accounting software on the network server). You can also [Browse] to select the location.

    Note: If you enter a location that uses a mapped drive, you should use the same drive letter and path that other workstations use to access the folder.

  4. In the list of Sage 300 Construction and Real Estate installation tasks, select Install software, and then follow the instructions as they appear in the windows.
